Every step completes all the way to the end. The output stream seems to be writing, etc. Except when I go check the file system, nothing has been done. I first tried with 'sh' then with 'su' (I have a rooted Cyanogen rom).
Here is the code:

View 13 Replies View RelatedTo make development easier, I want to be able to send textual commands to my android app(especially prior to having prior the UI completely fleshed out).Presumably in the emulator, but it would be great if it also worked on a device connected via USB.Of course, I could add an editText control to my app and type the commands in there, but would prefer not have deal with debug things cluttering up the UI and all the complications of that.I also would like to be able to paste text from computer clipboard, which sorta rules out EditText controls.Is there any way to do this, say via any of the android-sdk/tools/ stuff? I would implement the command processor java class/method, but need some way to be able to actually feed it a string. I suppose I could do something that talks to the emulator via the file system or something, but would prefer not have to spend a lot of time doing this if there is something already available.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to run an Android application on Windows using eclipse that has been already developed on Linux OS. I tried to copy the source/res and menifest file of Android application form linux and started creating a new project on windows. I tried to replace the source/res and menifest of newly created Project on windows with one on linux. It was unable to generate R.java file.I wonder if java is portable accross platform then why I couldn't create and compile a new project on Windows from Linux.

I'm talking about 600Mhz processor and 256mb RAM. And Damn Small Linux as the linux distro.
Is there any method to do this? I have seen methods for Ubuntu and backtrack but they require better hardware.
I have a question.
I am developing android application on Linux platform because i have to make a system.img with a application.
When adding a drawable resource and building the project with mm command, i met a below error.code..
At above error, the icon_send_type is the added resource.
This error occurred because the mm command did not generate R.java.
So, i want to know how to generate R.java by a manual on Linux platform.
I am running Eclipse on Win32 and my Android emulator on Linux.
Is there a way to use Win32 eclipse to debug code on the emulator that runs on Linux?
What's cross-platform for those, flexible, easy to develop and debug, and offers good cross-platform GUI development? Good support for ODBC database is a plus and support for GIS database is a major plus.

Download the "eclipse-java-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz" eclipse.org. The version from Fedora repository doesn't work due to incompatible packages / versions. Make sure you have the Open JDK available and that Eclipse is using that one instead of the gjc.
Then install 32 bit library dependencies for Android SDK on Fedora 11 Beta.
$yum install glibc.i686 $yum install ncurses-libs.i586 $yum install libstdc $yum install libstdc++.i586 $yum install libzip.i586 $yum install libX11.i586 $yum install libXrandr.i586
I had a lot of problems with the emulator which using SDL and got the following error:
"SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device"
Found a good tip to see what libs is not found:
$cd $andoird_sdk/tools/ $strace ./emulator
It seems that the SDL couln't initialize the screen if not the libX11 and libXrandr wasn't aviable.
Next step was to get the ddms working:
The last line of $ANDROID_SDK1.1R1/tools/ddms has a - Djava.library.path entry pointing to 32 bit eclipse libraries which couldn't be used. So I renamed the library property so it wouldn't be read and instead use the 64 bit eclipse versions.
exec "$java_cmd" -d64 -Xmx256M $os_opts $java_debug - Djava.ext.dirs="$frameworkdir" -Djava.dummy.library.path="$libdir" - Dcom.android.ddms.bindir="$progdir" -jar "$jarpath" "$@"
Then getting the usb to work, follow the instructions on: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa... http://zachoglesby.com/2009/03/android-and-fedora/
The following did work at some point but isn't the prefered way to connect the android according to my googling: [url]

I need to de-serialise a file into an object of a given type. Basically the method will do this:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
MyClass newObject = (MyClass)in.readObject();
in.close();
return newObject;
I would like this method to be generic, therefore I can tell it what type I want to in.readObject() to cast its output into, and return it. Hope this makes sense...then again, I probably didn't understand generics properly and this is not actually possible, or advisable.
