Android :: Writing App That Executes Linux Commands

Aug 12, 2010

I have an compiled executable that is supposed to copy itself from the res folder, and into the /data/data/package-name/ folder, and change the permissions, and then execute. 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:

Android :: Independent Thread That Executes While Creating Layout And Defining Activity?

Jun 3, 2010

The android docs say that it adds the runnable to the queue and it runs in the UI thread. What does this mean? So, for example, the same thread I use to create my layout is used to run the Runnable? What if I want it as an independent thread that executes while I am creating my layout and defining my activity?

HTC Incredible :: Rooting Tip For Linux And Linux Live Booting

Jun 19, 2010

i successfully got into adb in recovery mode fairly easily on my ubuntu 10.4 laptop using the following method- this should also work for a linux live boot from a usb flash drive

in one terminal tail and follow log messages
~$ tail -f /var/log/messages

In another terminal run the loop

Then

1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in
2. remove battery, eject sd card.
3. put battery in
4. press vol- and power
5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."
6. press vol- to select recovery
7. press the power button
8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card

check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2

Android :: Android - Based On Linux - Can Run Anything That Can Run On A Linux Box

Apr 16, 2009

I know android is based on linux, does this mean it can run any and all linux applications? If so has anyone tried to run anything like wine? I also noticed that by default you cant run apps directly from sd card, but i saw a modification on a site that lets you change it so you can, so technically speaking is there any limit on the size of sd the G1 can handle?

Android :: #*#* Dialpad Commands

Jun 24, 2010

Does anyone know of a list of all the available Android *#*# keypad commands? e.g. *#*#4636#*#* opens up test mode. I tried a web search, and searching the forums, but searching for special characters like that, doesn't seem to work very well. Even tried escaping them with various combinations of quotes and backslashes, but no joy.

Android :: Shortcut To Execute Commands On Computer

Aug 27, 2010

There 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.

Android :: URL Commands When Calling Youtube Through Intent?

Jul 12, 2009

The standard Youtube URL commands (&loop, &rel, etc) do not seem to work when calling Youtube via an INTENT from inside the android application. The videos play fine, Youtube app comes up fine, but the additional URL commands don't appear to work. Is there another set of commands I should be using or are commands simply ignored using Youtube in this manner. Also, is there any documentation on the interface from android to the Youtube app available on the net?

Android :: Send Debug Commands To App Running In Emulator

Nov 19, 2010

To 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.

1. Turn on ADB
Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

2. Running ADB
Open up command prompt and type your way to the directory you have your SDK in.

How To Send AT Commands Based On BT Hands-Free Profile In Android

May 5, 2014

I am trying to establish Bluetooth connection between an Android device with other mobile phone over Handsfree profile. I am using following code -

Code:

private static final UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("0000111F-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"); // UUID for Hands free profile
// Some code...
// Get Bluetooth Adapter.
m_oBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
// Some code...
// For paired BT device, getting a connection established.

[code]....

I can create RFCOMMSocket using above code.

Now I want to send AT commands based on Bluetooth Hands-Free profile. e.g. If other mobile phone receives a phone call, my Android device can reject this call by sending AT command- "+CHUP". I am not sure whether this is possible or not.

At this point, I am stuck. I have read Bluetooth APIs where I found -

Code:
BluetoothHeadset.ACTION_VENDOR_SPECIFIC_HEADSET_EVENT

Can we use this Intent for sending AT commands? Is this a proper way to send AT command based on Bluetooth Hands-Free profile?

Android :: Monkey Tools Features - Hprof Format - Preestablished Commands?

Jan 30, 2009

I found the tool monkey and I ve been doing some test with it but there were two things that I could not do. The first is to read the. hprof files that it produces when the -hprof option is set. I tried to process them with the ECLIPSE memory analizer but it did not work. Do you know if there is a program that reads these files? OH and the other feature that I wanted to know if it even existed was if I could set a preestablished order of commands for the monkey to follow or if it only works randomly.

Android :: Adb Shell Commands To Change Settings Or Perform Tasks On A Phone

Feb 4, 2010

How do I use adb to perform some automated tasks on my android phone? I need to find commands that I can issue from the command line (ideally, using a .bat file) that will be capable of more than simply opening an application or sending an input keyevent (button press).

For instance, I want to toggle Airplane Mode on or off from the command line. Currently, the best I can do is launch the Wireless & network settings menu and then use input keyevents to click Airplane mode:

CODE:.................

There are quite a few drawbacks to this method, primarily that the screen has to be on and unlocked. Also, the tasks I want to do are much broader than this simple example. Other things I'd like to do if possible:

1.Play an mp3 and set it on repeat. Current solution:

CODE:..................

2.Play a video. (current solution: open MediaGallery, send keyevents, similar to above)

3.Change the volume (current solution: send volume-up button keyevents)

4.Change the display timeout (current solution: open sound & display settings, send keyevents)

As before, these all require the screen to be on and unlocked. The other major drawback to using keyevents is if the UI of the application is changed, the keyevents will no longer perform the correct function. If there is no easier way to do these sort of things, is there at least a way to turn the screen on (using adb) when it is off? Or to have keyevents still work when the screen is off?

I'm not very familiar with java. That said, I've seen code like the following (source: http://yenliangl.blogspot.com/2009/12/toggle-airplane-mode.html) to change a setting on the phone:

Settings.System.putInt(Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 1 /* 1 or 0 */);

How do I translate something like the above into an adb shell command? Is this possible, or the wrong way to think about it?
