execute adb shell command at runtime from android application
joy joy
hi.
In my application I want to create a directory xyz in sdcard at the runtime from the my Application.
But it doesn't work.
Here is my code..
public class process extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
String[] str ={"mkdir","/sdcard/xyz"};
try {
Process ps = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(str);
try {
ps.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, ""+e, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}

adb is the client/server protocol used for debugging android remotely
via network or USB.
What you are trying to do seems incredibly pointless.... you shouldn't
be running a shell command to create a directory.

ok thnx.
nw can I run executable file within process command at the runtime of
application.
from the above code my command string is now..
String[] str = "./extract_xxxfile /sdcard/abc.xxx /sdcard/
extracted_file/";
Here extract_xxxfile is the arm executable file and its in system/lib.
I want to extract /sdcard/abc.xxx file in /sdcard/extracted_file
directory.
It gives runtime directory null and environment null exception (IO
Exception).
can you help me?
