I have a scenario open a web link in incognito tab in chrome browser. I am using adb command to open chrome and navigate to specific URL i.e adb shell am start -n com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main -d weburl .

Is there any way to open link directly in incognito mode through adb?

  • Please note: the [[tag:google-chrome-app]] tag is not for Chrome itself. – Xan Feb 04 '16 at 14:09
  • Looking at the [ADB command list](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html) and [ADB Shell Commands](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/shell.html#shellcommands), there isn't any command that enables you to open a weburl in incognito mode. – gerardnimo Feb 04 '16 at 15:49

I could not find any way using adb commands. But using ChromeOptions it is possible if we add "--incognito" argument.

You can launch chrome in incognito mode with the -incognito flag. I am not sure if this will work through ADB, however.

    Android apps are not launched from scratch like those in other operating systems, instead a request is sent to a system daemon which forks off a copy of itself and loads the app code as a library. Because there is no invocation, there is no (app-specific) command line to pass this argument on. – Chris Stratton Jun 13 '16 at 06:14
