Is there any way how to install just ADB without whole SDK?

Question

I need to install just ADB on customer´s PC to connect to android phone and install apk there. And because of SDK size is it possible to do it without installing whole SDK?<

Answer 1

Unfortunately, due to platform tools being moved to a separate package the method above doesn't work any more.

Edit: The new page is here with no info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_sdk_intro

But the old wiki is still available here: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK/Windows

Answer 2

It is now available officially from Google as a separate tool. You can download it from here SDK Platform Tools Release

Answer 3

You can download Minimal ADB and Fastboot from XDA developers following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Answer 4

The best way I believe however is to open Android Studio go to Tools->SDK Manager then click on the SDK Tools tab, look if there is any update available for Android SDK Platform Tools and update it if available.

Answer 5

I got adb.exe and the required .dll files from: http://adbshell.com/downloads

Very minimalistic, but does exactly what it needs to do.

Answer 6

Yes you can

Installing ADB in windows without Download Android SDK

1. Firstly, you'll need a program that can partially download contents of zip files from the internet.
2. Once that's set up, go to the SDK download page and grab the link to the SDK.
3. In the zip file, navigate to "android-sdk-windows\tools"
4. From there, select only "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll"
5. Download.
