I have a problem. I'm working with adb shell and I have to execute this command : "# chmod -R 777 /data" but SO said : "Bad usage". Can I have a help? How do to execute chmod recursively in a directory?

At some points while running my android application, I need to create a directory on the sd card, for a small number of users this fails and I can't figure out the reason for it... (I've found similar problems caused by the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission missing, it's there and it works for almost all users so I don't think this is reason) When mkdirs returns false I crash the program and log the following java.io.File properties, starting at the directory I want to create, then recursive printing properties of the parent directory and so on...
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1/Dir2 (exists: false, canWrite: false, isDirectory: false, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1 (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/ (exists: true, canWrite: false, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
The strange thing is that the parent directory is writable (canWrite=true), I can't print the execute file permission but from what I've read, write is what you need when creating directories... What I've looked at so far is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if the sd card is full and if the sdcard is mounted read only:...........................
I have an app that instructed me to copy some data from my computer to the SDCard. So I plugged the Droid into the computer, mounted my Droid SDCard, looked at the directory, and copied the file. There are a bunch of files and folders listed (e.g. backups for apps, album artwork, etc.) as being on the SDCard. But when I go into Astro on the Droid and select "SDCARD" it shows "directory is empty." I don't get it. Why can't I see the folders and files on the SDCard that I can see on the computer screen?

i've rooted my vodafone 858 but it didn't install super user although i can type "su" command in adb shell. now i'm trying to delete files located in /mnt/asec (downloaded packages) due to low phone memory. so i tried to do it but when i do the command "rm" for files located in there it tells me permission denied so i entered super user mode and i tried "rm" it tells me "unable to chmod <path> read-only file system" so how can i get past the read only?

I do a ((Context)thingy).bindService(...) from within the onCreate callback of an Activity. I've observed that the onServiceConnected() callback of my associated Service Connection does not execute immediately, but rather, is delayed until after the Activity resumes, or more precisely, after return from the onResume() callback of the Activity. I discovered this the hard way (through a null pointer exception) because I was unable to use the Service (I call a method in the Service to start a Thread) immediately upon return from the bindService () call.
I assume this is normal behavior, but I don't understand why, and I further assume that there is a good reason for it and that I would benefit from understanding it. I'm guessing that maybe the Service isn't eligible to run because there are fewer than 1 processes bound that are in an active state.(?) But once it starts, if I then start the Thread within, it continues to completion of its task, even if the Activity calls unbindService() and terminates first! I don't mind that behavior (it's what I want to happen), but I want to know whether I can generally rely on it. I'm seeking some wisdom from the forum. Please help me clear my fog on all these points.
There is a user input then on submit pass the search keywords to the db server and return the results (the db server has to be external by the way). Could i pass the search query to server side (php) and get the php script to execute the queries and return the scripts output?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to execute opcodes directly against the running Dalvik VM instance from within my application on Android. I'm looking for something similar to the C asm function. I have a list of opcodes for dalvik, but I am unfamiliar with how to either execute them directly, or write them out to .class files and execute them against some sort of VM CLI command like dalvikvm from within a running application.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been doing Android application development for Android 1.5 on Debian etch (4.0), and things were going okay. I then tried upgrading the SDK to support more recent platforms. The problem is that the vast majority of the tools that are executables (I'm not counting shell scripts) seem to now depend on glibc >= 2.4. When trying to execute them, or passing them to ldd, I get an error like:
./aapt: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./aapt)
On Debian, the file /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 is provided by the libc6-i686 package, which on etch is version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7, but on lenny I see that the version has increased to 2.7-18.
I can think of a few workarounds: - Copy the required libraries from a supported platform and point to them with LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using the affected executables. - Download the sources for the tools (e.g. http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;...) and build my own local versions for Debian etch. - Give up using Debian etch and switch to another platform.
All of these are potentially viable alternatives for me, so this isn't a show stopper, and indeed http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html says that it's only tested for GNU/Linux on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, which uses version 2.7-10ubuntu5. Nevertheless, it's somewhat annoying, and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts, or if the Android team even knows of the issue. I'm guessing that sometime in the transition from 1.5 to 1.6, they switched from an earlier Ubuntu version (I have to go back to Dapper, which uses 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5, to find a pre-2.4 version) to Hardy, and this was just a side effect. But I'd be surprised if there was anything specific in the source that really required libc 2.4, and it's possible that if they were just building with an appropriate compiler flag that backwards compatibility could be maintained.
This affects all platform-specific tools for platforms >= android-1.6 (so aapt, aidl, and dexdump), and it affects all platform-agnostic tools (except for hprof-conf and mksdcard; so adb, dmtracedump, emulator, sqlite3, and zipalign) installed with the new modular sdk download (android-sdk_r3-linux.tgz) available starting in the android 1.6 timeframe (the corresponding tools from the android 1.5 timeframe in the monolithic SDK download of android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3.zip work fine).

So basically I would like my app to read info from a database, this info would be a string that is valid java code. Once read, I would like my app to execute this string as if it were code. Is there any functionality packaged with the android sdk that supports this?
Essentially I want the phone to populate some data with information queried from a database. One of these pieces of information would be a statement like: "return data.ZombieKillTotal >= 100000;"
Which would be used inside a statement like:

I need to customize the launcher application. I built it from the android source, and installed it to the emulator successfully(By renaming its package name to solve signing conflicts). When I tried to run my build, an exception occurred, and I can't find where it actually from because it seems to be from an internal thread.After an whole day trying, I found that the exception is thrown by the line in Launcher.java possibly: setContentView(R.layout.launcher)Does anyone have any suggestion?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to execute code before exiting application. My application is composed of several activities. When the user starts the application (from the launcher menu or from a notification in the status bar), he goes in an InitActivity where I process some initializations. From user experience, application always restarts. One of these initializations is to init a network manager and start a thread that periodically sends a network request to notify a server that application is active.
I need to process some end operations, like stopping this thread when user quits application, for example by pressing the HOME key or BACK key when he's in the root activity. However, when the user press the HOME key, application is still running in background.
Q1 : is it possible to execute code when exiting application (I see the onTerminate() method of the class Application but it seems not to be always called)?
Q2 : Is it possible to force application exit (activity method finish () only destroy the current activity, not the application)?
Q3 : Is it possible to handle HOME key press (onKeyDown() is not called when this button is pushed)?
I have a problem with my application. During the execution of it, I have some buttons which execute other activities when I click on them. The way I am realising it is:
private OnClickListener scaleImage = new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(main.this, Scale.class); startActivity(intent);
update(); }
};
I'm working on a G1 rooted. I have to implement program that execute "Root Explorer". I have write this code:
Process p;
try { p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
// OK DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("echo "HELLO!!!!!!!!" >/system/test.txt");
os.writeBytes("exit"); os.flush();
// ERROR File dir = new File("/data"); String [] list = dir.list();
Log.v("TEST]", String.valueOf(list.length));
try { p.waitFor(); int exit = p.exitValue();
if (exit != 255) { Log.v("TEST]", "ok");
} else { Log.v("TEST]", "Error");
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.v("TEST]",e.getMessage());
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.v("TEST]",e.getMessage());
}
I use Superuser.apk for execute "su" command. My program write file test.txt in /system but statement Log.v("TEST]", String.valueOf(list.length)); return value 0.

View 11 Replies View RelatedThere are all of these app's out there that allow you to control your computer from your phone (using VNC and others). This is all well and good....but there are no shortcuts to do anything on these apps. Whatever you are trying to do on your computer takes way too many screens/clicks to be truly efficient by using your phone. You most certainly are able to do it with your phone.....but hell...it was way more complicated than it had to be.
DOES BELOW APP EXIST?
I would LOVE to just touch a shortcut on my home screen that would send a couple of keystrokes to my computer. Or telling my computer to open a particular program from a shortcut created on my android phones Home screen. This would be amazing. I could tell my computer to run whatever task from my phone QUICKLY...without having to jump hoops through screenshots/mouseclicks/keyboard on VNC app's......
Using this, you would no longer need all these separate video/music player control apps...you could just wire hotkeys/scripts to be run to control ANYTHING. I could send a keystroke to minimize/maximize a window....pause iTunes....Give a song 3 star rating....open a particular site...
I'm just trying to turn my phone into a much better remote for my computer.....all current apps seem to fail horribly.
