Is it possible to select all the text in an editText with ADB in android? Right now, I'm using the command:

sudo /Applications/sdk/platform-tools/adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DEL

50 times, so that it erases the whole sentence, but it is very slow.

try long press on the textedit with adb swipe

adb shell input swipe 100 200 100 200 1000

Throw the following command on an active text box

start /B adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_MENU & adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_A perl -e 'select(undef,undef,undef,.3)' & adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_BACK

The second line removes the activated menu from your app if it has one. If it does not, run only the first line.
