adb-shell: Get all the properties from emulator or device.

$ adb shell getprop

try on your machine

The adb shell getprop command is used in adb (Android Debug Bridge) shell to retrieve device properties on an Android device. The command allows you to access various system properties and their corresponding values.

When you run adb shell getprop, it displays a list of system properties along with their values. System properties are key-value pairs that provide information about the Android system or device.

For example, some common system properties that could be displayed include:

ro.product.model: This property represents the device model name.
ro.build.version.release: This property represents the Android version installed on the device.
persist.sys.timezone: This property represents the current time zone of the device.

You can use the adb shell getprop <property> command to retrieve the value of a specific system property. For instance, running adb shell getprop ro.product.model would display the model name of the Android device.

Understanding device properties can be beneficial when debugging Android applications or checking the device's configuration from the command line.
