"""Tool to interactively call sl4a methods.

SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android) is an RPC service exposing API calls on
Android.

Original version: https://github.com/damonkohler/sl4a

Fork in AOSP (can make direct system privileged calls):
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/sl4a/

Also allows access to Event Dispatcher, which allows waiting for asynchronous
actions. For more information see the Mobly codelab:
https://github.com/google/mobly#event-dispatcher

Usage:
$ sl4a_shell
>>> s.getBuildID()
u'N2F52'
