I need to run a command on my android phone. It's actually a bash script I wrote and installed in /system/xbin/. I can open a terminal emulator and type the command, but would prefer having an icon to graphically run the command with a single tap.How can I add an icon to run a custom command?

View 6 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 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I have been working on a Boot animation changer for the Nexus 7 and the program so far is coded in a C# form for windows.
I have coded everything fine up till now. I need to run a ADB command to push a file from my Program files x86 to the nexus 7 and write over the original Boot file.
But is there a simple and easy solution for writing this code? Or do I need to make a console application which does this process when started?
( I can push files manually via ADB, but the point is to make the tool " one click " If you get my drift.)
I want use adb commands to "integrate" the update into the system (google play, gmail etc...). I am not a root.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to turn on my bluetooth from PC (via usb for now) using adb commands. until now I've found something like that:
HTML Code:
adb shell "am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_ENABLE" This works good but it requires user to accept a dialog, and if the phone would be 2 meters away it wouldn't be convenient. I also found sth.like that:

Any list or link to a list of keyboard and mouse commands for our tablet?
I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard. The keyboard is this type: [URL] ......
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).
I'm planning on using the UpdatezipCreator from this thread http[URL].... to build an update script for some APK updates I want to package up. It appears this app has the ability to build a update-binary file for you.
I have APK files in both the system/app and data/app that I want to be copied to my phone.
First thing, can I have multiple destinations for the files in the script? I haven't found any examples with two destinations and there doesn't seem to be a spot to configure the source which makes me think it just takes everything in the zip and puts it in the folder you specifiy in the package_extract_dir function and that adding a second "package_extract_dir" function would confuse it.
The second question is I keep running across scripts that us busybox instead of the built in commands. Why would you need to/want to do that?This is what I would think would work for my script:
Code:
ui_print("Preparing to update");
ui_print("Copying files..");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");[CODE].....

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I want to do is be able to map arbitrary keycodes to execute custom commands. I purchased a Bluetooth numeric keypad, and with CM7, I am able to sync it and generate key events. However, they're not mapped to anything, so it's pretty useless. My hope in buying this product was the ability to map the keys to input events and be able to control my phone (Maps, IME, etc) while my phone is docked in my car so I'm not doing the "distracted driving" thing. So, is there a way I could code an app/service that would capture key/scancodes and execute user-defined commands (such as screen events)? Further, could this service change its behavior when the IME is active, allowing me to map the keys to the on-screen keyboard? I use a T9 app, and if the program could map to screen events when the IME is active allowing me to type T9 on a physical keyboard, that would be amazing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have developed a program that will allow android users to navigate through the files. But the problem is that when I use the "ls" command it doesn't make always a new line after each file but it places it in one line. Here is a screenshot
So my question is: Is there a way to make it list each file in new line? (using adb commands)
I'm writing a file manager app and I want to allow it for browsing with root permissions.
All I have so far is creation of a Process object using Runtime.exec("su"). Then I get output stream from it and write "ls" command. And here goes the question. How to read the output of the "ls"? Getting the input stream from the process gives me stdout of the "su" which is useless.
So I just got the Samsung Galaxy S4. Whenever I try to use S Voice, it never listens to my commands. If I press the microphone button S-Voice immediately says "I didn't hear that. Please say it again" with literally NO time for me to ever say a single thing. Also, saying "Hi Galaxy" never gets it to pick up on me either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's a little guide I put together for you to learn basic adb commands. I'm posting this thread assuming you already have your SDK set up. With that said, let's dive right in!
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.
Mine is in C:
So for example, mine would be: cd c:AndroidSDK/tools............................
I want to run adb commands like "adb install application.apk" or "adb uinstall application.apk" from my android application.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the great features of the the 4th soft button is to hold it down to bring up the voice search prompt. A this prompt there are several commands that are extremely helpful, such as: "Navigate to <place>" opens Google Navigation and gives you directions to <place> "Call <contact> work/home/etc" will call that contact. (Is there a way to set a default so that you can just say "Call <contact>" and it automatically calls that person's cell/home/work?) "Locate.../Map of.../Find..." will all open and search google maps.
"Driections to <place>" will open google maps and give you directions to <place> "Look up <place/thing/etc>" will do a google search
