python-adb freezes when connecting to bluestacks app player

[sunnad99]

When I try to launch the following script for Bluestacks 10's app player, my interpreter just freezes. The freeze occurs whenever I call a method of the Client class (devices, version etc...)

from ppadb import client


adb = client.Client(host='127.0.0.1', port=5555)
print(adb.devices())

There is no error that is thrown and I cannot even keyboard interrupt the interpreter. I have to force close it from task manager.

You are interpreting the interface incorrectly.

The first API call is to connect ppadb client with the adb server on your host. The port number is therefore 5037

That instance you can use to do the adb.devices() call

Once you have that connection, then you have to perform the step to connect to a device by creating a device instance

Client.device() Or Client.remote_connect(<ip_address>, 5555)

That instance is the one you use to do the adb.shell() call

Ahh Alright, I understand now, that makes sense. So to connect ppadb to my device, I do need to have adb running. I assumed this library would not require adb from the android website but now its pretty clear. Thank you for the swift response!
