I am new user in the area of Android, but have Linux knoweldge. I am trying to configure my android device LG Nexus 4 to act as Document Camera
For this purpose, I have to scp the files and then remove the files remotely. I have installed SSH server and my scp works, but my remote execution of commands using ssh not working, it throws error
with -v ssh gives the following messages
"Authenticated to 192.168.21.233 ([192.168.21.233]:57388).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US.UTF-8
debug1: Sending command: rm -rf /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20130822_111706.jpg
exec request failed on channel 0 "
when I goggled it says that editing ssh_config file and uncomment: 'AddressFamily all' and changing it to 'AddressFamily inet' will work I checked in the android devices /etc directory, I did not find the ssh_config

The latest version of Google Now (2.1) doesn't like being flashed. If you flash it via CWM it seems to break voice search functionality, causing a force close.
Playing with the adb shell, I discovered that the pm install command works nicely:
Code:
pm install [APKNAME].apk
So, I thought this would be perfect to execute in a shell script via CWM/Edify.
So far I've tried all manner of commands. First I was trying the above command in a install.sh file, before I realised that "pm" wasn't present anywhere in /sbin/ (the header of my shell script is #!/sbin/sh").
So, I've tried this:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
exec /system/bin/pm install data/media/install/Velvet.apk
Here is the update script:
Code:
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Mounting data...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
[Code] .....
Which, copies the files correctly. This also isn't my first time running scripts in my installer, but this is the first time I've attempted this. To no avail. This same command works in the adb shell, though.
Also, is there another way of flashing that may work? I heard about putting the original file ("Velvet.apk") in /system/app and then putting the updated version in /data/appcom.google.andorid.googlequicksearch-1.apk but this doesn't work either.
Running the above script in Busybox installer's script running function also works perfectly. The only thing it won't do is install from CWM.

What I am trying to do is get either nest-api in PHP or pynest in python to run out of SL4A in order to control my Nest thermostat ultimately out of Tasker. Both are found on github, but I can't link to them as I apparently need ten posts to do so. So a google search for "nest-api github" and "pynest github" will have to do I suppose.
I have absolutely no issues getting either to run out of Terminal on my MacBook Air, but for whatever reading the SL4A shell seems to escape my understanding. I would rather have the PHP script work, as it has more options for things I can set, which I like. Where to put the nest.class.php on my phone in order for the PHP shell to reference it when running the example.php or any script I write myself. When I put both files in the sdcard/sl4a/scripts folder and try to run either from within either sl4a or sl4a's shell I get a call to undefined function error.
For the python script, I'm not sure how I need to import the module so that I can call it with nest.py at the beginning of my command line prompt and follow it up with the user name and password and so on. I've done everything including trying to create an .egg file, which I've since been told is not necessary, and that I simply have to put it in the /sl4a/scripts folder. That doesn't make sense to me though, as I needed to run the setup.py command on my computer in order to start using it, and the .egg file should be the equivalent of that on the phone, no?
So what I am looking for is the foolproof way to get either a php or python script running through the shell that isn't actually hooking into the Android environment at all, which is what all the writeups I have found in my searching seems to pertain to. Then eventually make sure that they are available in a way that Tasker can call them. I should also note that all this has been done in an emulator through eclipse until this point, as I didn't want to go screwing around with my brand new Nexus 4's file structure until I had the best practice perfected.

I'm trying to unzip an apk using the device shell. I need to see the package name of the app contained in the apk. I tried using unzip -l but I just get output that says "zip flags 1 and 8 not supported". How can I unzip an apk? For that matter, am I using the right tool for this job? I just want to view the manifest of the apk, really. I have busybox.

When I start the ADB shell from the Windows command line, and type the command "ls", the list of files I get is not sorted by name. Also, if I enter "ls -r" which should reverse sort, I get the error message "no such file". If I type "busybox ls -l", I get the expected sorted list. Also, other commands like "busybox ls -la" work.
My Phone is a Samsung Captivate i897, rooted from Gingerbread with Corn Kernel v7.06 with Superuser and BusyBox installed.
How can I get the Busybox version of the shell commands to run without having to type "busybox" all the time?

I am looking for a way to send an email, preferably with an attachment, from a command line shell script (bourn/ash/whatever-it-is). No user interaction is a requirement.
It looks like an "am start" command might be able to do it via launching another app, and I've seen some examples out there, but nothing that I've had success with.
I have a big rsync backup script that I run to back up my device to my server, but I want to be able to email myself a notification if the backup fails, along with a copy of a log file. This script runs on a regular basis via a scheduler without any user interaction, but I have noticed that rsync has been failing recently and I've needed to re-run it manually later.
I am a pro Linux sysadmin but don't know jack about Java. I do bash, python, perl, and some C. My current script is just a sh shell script.
FYI my device is a Nexus One on Cyanogen 7.2. FYI I own the mail server here. I use k9mail as my primary mail app but the gmail app could be used as well.
If there was just a "mail" command.

I am wondering what terminal command I can use to check if a process has been cached. On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, rooted, with the latest build of the Paranoid Android jelly bean rom, I can go to my settings, click on apps, swipe to the "Running Apps" list, and click on the button at the top of the screen that says "Show Cached Processes," and that displays the list that I am trying to access. My reasoning for doing this, is to use "Secure Settings" in conjunction with "Tasker" to check if my "Groove IP" application is running. Initially, I was trying to use "pgrep -l com.*" and check that list for "com.gvoip" too see if "Groove IP" is running in the tray (pull down menu), but if the process is cached, it still shows up in that list. How to get a list of cached processes from terminal.

I am trying to run an ADB shell command from inside an android app using the JAVA's Runtime.getRunTime.exec API. I am getting an error "ERROR/ProcessManager(1041): Error running adb: Permission denied". Wanted to check if there is any permission that I need to request to get it working or that running the adb shell command would not be allowed from with in the Android app.
I am able to execute other linux commands like 'ls' from the android app though.

I am trying to execute a command from within my code, the command is "echo 125 > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness" and I can run it without problems from adb shell
I am using Runtime class to execute it : Runtime.getRuntime().exec("echo 125 > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness");
However I get a permissions error since I am not supposed to access the sys directory. I have also tried to place the command in a String[] just in case spaces caused a problem but it didn't make much differense.

I am trying to use "adb -d shell" command to start a shell on device (android dev 1 phone ) from my vista command line. But whenever I try giving such command it does not open any shell or interaction on the phone device. But instead it goes to the next line in the cmd as '$'. any help would really appreciable. I have installed adb_usb_windows.
Previously I used work well with the emulator. Using adb command never troubled me. But now with new device, I am not able to open a shell using adb -d shell command on the phone.

I try to execute shell commands, this does work as it should. Even the result comes back (as is see on LogCat). The problem ist the last line of the result. Every time a readLine() on the last line occurs (which shouldn't occur, temp should be null), the app hangs forever and doesn't come back from the readLine call. Maybe you find the error. I tried readUTF and standart read(), all the same problem. And yes, the app got su-rights.
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream osRes = new DataInputStream(process.getInputStream());
for (String single : commands) { os.writeBytes(single + " ");
os.flush(); String temp = new String();
while( (temp = osRes.readLine()) != null) { Log.v("NITRO", temp);
result2 += temp + " ";
} } os.writeBytes("exit");
os.flush(); process.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) { Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}
That is the StackTrace where it hangs when I stop debugger when hanging:

I wish to know how in java I should receive these parameters. I do know how to deliver parameters via adb shell am start command but I still have a problem to get them in java (android) code.
My class extends InstrumentationTestCase and not Activity class!
So I cannot perform: this.getIntent().
I anderstand that I need to create intent doing: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.someAction);
Can you help me to find out what action should I use here.
I also read that there are secondary attributes: category, type, component, extras. I know that I also need to update the manifest file accordingly. Sorry for so many q/a.

Specifically, I was trying to use the sqlite3 command with the adb shell to run some queries on the database of the Android application I'm building. I kept getting "sqlite3: permission denied". I'm developing on a Nexus One that I purchased from Google. Does my phone need to be rooted or something?
