input string from adb

normally, you can input strings from adb term after inputbox is on focus by typing:

adb shell "input text here"

and like all other format handle logic, just add "\" to input some special chars, like " ' ".

adb shell "input text \'here"

but in fact there are more chars not able to be inputed simply by adding "\", which have already be used maybe, like space,

you'll have to type it by other way:

adb shell "input keyevent 62"

in fact android maps some key event with the chars(not only the special chars), and space is just the one, 62.
