This one is packaging prebuilt platform tools from Google and is the one usually used by Android Studio users. android-tools builds from source instead. Both are valid choices imo.

Just found android-tools. So why does this package even exist?

@dreamingincode, you are correct, thank you for pointing that out. However, the current method is still a bad practice and does not work for every shell. Symlinking will solve the PATH issues once and for all.

I don't think adb is supposed to require root to run - or could you please link to an official source for that?

Or maybe you need to install the android-udev package and make sure you are in the adbusers group? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Android_Debug_Bridge#Daemon_exits_with_insufficient_permissions_error

Is there a reason why the package modifies the PATH for some selected shells instead of simply symlinking the binaries to /usr/bin/? Since newer versions require elevated permissions to work, it becomes frustrating to have to use sudo $(which adb).

Since when does adb require elevated priviledges?

These tools are installed in /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools. It seems that the PKGBUILD adds the directory to PATH only for sh and csh and not other shells. I use Nushell, so I have a problem similar to what php4fan has. I added it to PATH manually.

I installed this package and I still don't seem to have the adb command:

$ adb
zsh: correct 'adb' to '_adb' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: adb

Am I missing something?

please add package.xml Without it trying to build apps with capacitor results in:

ERR_SDK_PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND: SDK package not found by location: /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools.

and while trying to debug it I discovered that it's trying to read the /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/package.xml file and failing because it doesn't exist.

@zjeffer Thanks a lot, worked here, too.
