This enables spinning up devices, deploying builds, collecting logs, and capturing screenshots headlessly from the terminal. To start, developers need Android CLI, link their project, and instruct their agent to list and select available remote devices. More updates to Android Skills, Android CLI, and Android Studio are promised. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Android CLI now supports device streaming, giving direct access to real physical devices remotely, usable by both developers and their AI agents. After installing Android CLI and linking a project, instruct an agent to list available remote devices and select one. The agent can then spin up devices, deploy builds, collect logs, and capture screenshots headlessly through the terminal, just as if the device were plugged in over USB. _Developers wiring agent-driven testing into their workflow can track Android CLI updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google previews Android CLI for new world of agentic development](https://daily.dev/posts/google-previews-android-cli-for-new-world-of-agentic-development-pnmizam6a) · DEVCLASS · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google launches Android CLI 1.0 for AI coding agents](https://daily.dev/posts/google-launches-android-cli-1-0-for-ai-coding-agents-4ldzl3tzl) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/test-on-real-hardware-through-android-cli-1pwpepywp) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Test on real hardware through Android CLI","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/test-on-real-hardware-through-android-cli-1pwpepywp","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/test-on-real-hardware-through-android-cli-1pwpepywp"},"datePublished":"2026-10-02T19:26:16.876Z","dateModified":"2026-10-02T19:26:50.454Z","description":"Android device streaming is now accessible directly through Android CLI, letting developers and their AI agents interact with real physical devices remotely as...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gQswwgjX6n8/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gQswwgjX6n8/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Android Developers","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Android Developers","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--VHoSw1TN--/f_auto/v1722583834/logos/androiddevelopers","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/androiddevelopers"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/test-on-real-hardware-through-android-cli-1pwpepywp","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,android","timeRequired":"PT1M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"Test on real hardware through Android CLI","description":"Android device streaming is now accessible directly through Android CLI, letting developers and their AI agents interact with real physical devices remotely as...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gQswwgjX6n8/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-10-02T19:26:16.876Z","duration":"PT1M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/1pwPEpywp","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gQswwgjX6n8"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Android Developers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/androiddevelopers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Test on real hardware through Android CLI"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/test-on-real-hardware-through-android-cli-1pwpepywp#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I test my app on real Android devices remotely using Android CLI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Android CLI now supports device streaming, giving direct access to real physical devices remotely, usable by both developers and their AI agents.
