Re: Telnet/socket connecton

(I would kill to have "expect" working on Android shell.  That would be awesome.)

Since you have the java source code for Communicator.java and Homeautomation.java, you can modify them yourself and compile your personal version of the app.  In your version, you can hard code the name of the remote server, user and password.  Now you won't have to login everytime you run your custom app.

turn tv on 

exit 

I like to do the same with tasker ( non rooted device ) and make a shortcut to the desktop 

There is a app for this but it's not perfect as you have login every time and there is no widget or why to create a shortcut

Expect is used due to it was a easy way to do it in linux. I don't
need it on my phone it was just the general idea

Well my java skills isn't the greatest almost Null. :(
So I thought maybe do it with scripts in tasker.

The tough part is that Tasker doesn't offer any easy way to script the send/wait/send things you need to do over the telnet connection to your remote host.

Look at this post from Jon Benson: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/tasker/udp/tasker/2NWjjksLT54/soc2Ag8ur94J

I think you need to look at his source code, modifyit so that it can send TCP packets instead of UDP packets, and then you'll be 90% of the way to doing what you need.

It's a pity your phone isn't rooted.  If it was rooted, you can use Tasker to run shell commands that can simulate key inputs.  So, you can have Tasker do something like:

launch terminal app

runshell: 

sendevent /dev/input/event4 u
sendevent /dev/input/event4 s
sendevent /dev/input/event4 e
sendevent /dev/input/event4 r
sendevent /dev/input/event4 [return]

sendevent /dev/input/event4 p

sendevent /dev/input/event4 a
sendevent /dev/input/event4 s
sendevent /dev/input/event4 s

sendevent /dev/input/event4 w

sendevent /dev/input/event4 o
sendevent /dev/input/event4 r
sendevent /dev/input/event4 d

sendevent /dev/input/event4 [return]

etc etc.

A bit late, but I've just published a plugin that should be able to handle this for you:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asif.plugin.sendexpect

You can try a 7-day trial copy at:

http://bit.ly/1mTtnAU

 

[Daniel Söderlund]

Hello, looks good. 

I rooted my phone few weeks ago but it's better to have a GUI :) 

I'll download the trial and see how it works. If t works well I'll buy it( maybe buy it anyway just for the support), if you need a beta tester just shout.

Hi again, 

I'm trying to replicate my script in the plugin, not sure what I should do.
When I create the first expect  it doesn't show up in the list, maybe a bug don't know.

Sorry, I am seeing the same thing here.  Something in updating all of my build tools and doing a production build must have broken it.  And although all my automated tests passed, they are clearly not sufficient.  I will post an update as soon as I work it out.

Thanks,

David

[David Stone]

Sorry, and embarrassed about that.   It turned out to be a bug that only shows up once after the initial installation, and was invisible to my plethora of unit tests.  Need to work out how to best do this type of system testing, but uiautomator is such a long way around.  Anyways, I fixed the bug, updated the Google Play store binary and also updated the trial version.

Hi David,

I bought your App and now I tried to do some Telnet ...

I only want to send a string to a telnet host, the host didn´t need a Login (it is only local)

 

In the Target I put the IP of the local telnet server.

Port: 4224

timeout: 5

 

Send KOBELKA.event.mobil=test

 

Nothing reaches the host, what did I wrong ?

Hello Jörg,

The first thing to do is to enable Send/Expect logging.  This is done by launching Send/Expect as a standalone application, opening the options menu, selecting Preferences, and then enabling the Logging box.

Next run your Send/Expect configuration, triggering it either from Tasker, or perhaps easier when debugging, directly from standalone Send/Expect.

After it has run, in standalone Send/Expect open the options menu and select Log.   This will show you what Send/Expect did.

If the log shows the Send/Expect was successful, the problem may be that the connection is being closed before the Telnet server has had a chance to process the command. If this is the case you can add a pause in your Send/Expect configuration after the send.

David

P.S.  Because this is a Send/Expect question let's continue this conversation in the Send/Expect forum.
