getprop sys.boot_completed

[Oyin Oluwatimi]

Hi,

I am modifying parts of the contentresolver.java class, specifically in the query method. Within here, I am running a piece of code to check the property file "sys.boot_completed" to indicate if the system is fully booted.  If it is, it returns "1".  However, during the booting of the operating system, the query method is being called by different system processes.  It initially returns 

"cannot bind 'tcp:5038'

"* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 *"

The problem is by the time that happens, the process that is calling the query method is circumventing my changes.

Below is the code to read the sys.boot_completed and a series of log outputs

    public static String readSysBootCompleted(){
    	java.lang.Process p = null;
    	String value=null;
    	//List<String> commands=new ArrayList<String>();
    	//commands.add("getprop sys.boot_completed");
    	//execADBShell(commands);
    	
    	 try {
			p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("adb shell getprop sys.boot_completed && exit");
			
			InputStream is =p.getInputStream();
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
			int i=1;
			while((value=br.readLine())!=null)
				Log.w(TAG,"attempt " + Integer.toString(i++)+": " +value);
			// Attempt to write a file to a root-only  
	        /* DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());  
	     // Close the terminal  
	          os.writeBytes("exit\n");  
	           os.flush();  
	           os.close();*/
	           br.close();
			
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			Log.w(TAG,  e.getMessage());
		} 
  
    	if(value==null)
    		value="";
    	return value;
    }

Can anyone help me in this regard?

Thanks,

Hi, 

I just read something online that I  shouldn't rely on sys.boot_completed.  So I'm rewording the question:

How can the system framework be alerted that the device is fully booted?

Thanks.
