I'm trying to retrieve the ADT version to generate some system reports.

How can I check the version of the android developer tools installed on the system using the command line?

The formal name seems to be "Android SDK Tools" – Plyler 12/9, 2016 at 20:59

Various parts of the tools save their revision number in files

For example

cat /android/sdk/platform-tools/source.properties | grep Pkg.Revision
cat /android/sdk/tools/source.properties | grep Pkg.Revision

The build tools themselves are placed in versioned directories, so you can find them via

ls /android/sdk/build-tools/
