Get Bluetooth MAC Address via adb [duplicate]
Running netcfg
will show you all interfaces on the system along with their MAC addresses.
What I usually do to get the mac address of the WiFi interface of an Android device (that is connected to my PC through a USB port) is following these easy steps:
1. Find the device name using:
adb devices
Results usually looks like:
List of devices attached 4e7354af device1f97033e device
In this case we have two devices connected 4e7354af
and 1f97033e
. Let's work on the first one: 4e7354af
2. Get the mac address for the first device:
adb -s 4e7354af shell "ip addr show wlan0 | grep 'link/ether '| cut -d' ' -f6"
The result will be looks like:
8e:5a:e7:c2:01:9b
In previous line, we used the -s
option of the adb
command to specify the serial number. Then we call the shell
command to indicate that we will run a Linux command. Finally, we run the command: ip addr show wlan0 | grep 'link/ether '| cut -d' ' -f6
this command can also be used in Linux if its interface has the same name as wlan0
.
I generally use this approach because I have many devices connected to my testing environment. Good luck guys.
Note: If you run commands like cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/address
you will get an error like cat: /sys/class/net/wlan0/address: Permission denied
due to the security policies of Android.
