How to write adb shell commend in java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime()?

Question

I need to use adb connect pc to device and do some checking. So I try to use java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd) to get adb shell result into my program. But I don't know how to write the adb shell commend in the exec call, something like:

String cmd =adkHome + "adb.exe -s " + device + " shell ls"; 

then cd data/app

How do I do this?

Answer 1

This may be what you're looking for?

 String cmd = "adb shell ls"; String cmdreturn = ""; Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process pr = run.exec(cmd); pr.waitFor(); BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream())); while ((line=buf.readLine())!=null) { System.out.println(cmdreturn); } 

As far as preforming actions in a shell, I would recommend writing a shell script that you execute. In this case instead of

 String cmd = "adb shell ls"; 

Replace it with

 String cmd = "shellscript.sh"; 

Cheers!

If you mean to run this on the phone from your java app, you just need:

String cmd = "ls";
