I'm trying to execute this command from the application emulator terminal (you can find it in google play) in this app i write su
and press enter, so write:
screenrecord --time-limit 10 /sdcard/MyVideo.mp4
and press again enter and start the recording of the screen using the new function of android kitkat.
so, i try to execute the same code from java using this:
Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
Process execute = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("screenrecord --time-limit 10 /sdcard/MyVideo.mp4");
But don't work because the file is not created. obviously i'm running on a rooted device with android kitkat installed. where is the problem? how can i solve? because from terminal emulator works and in Java not?
This question is related to
java
android
xml
shell
android-4.4-kitkat
A modification of the code by @CarloCannas:
public static void sudo(String...strings) {
try{
Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(su.getOutputStream());
for (String s : strings) {
outputStream.writeBytes(s+"\n");
outputStream.flush();
}
outputStream.writeBytes("exit\n");
outputStream.flush();
try {
su.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
outputStream.close();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
(You are welcome to find a better place for outputStream.close())
Usage example:
private static void suMkdirs(String path) {
if (!new File(path).isDirectory()) {
sudo("mkdir -p "+path);
}
}
Update: To get the result (the output to stdout), use:
public static String sudoForResult(String...strings) {
String res = "";
DataOutputStream outputStream = null;
InputStream response = null;
try{
Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
outputStream = new DataOutputStream(su.getOutputStream());
response = su.getInputStream();
for (String s : strings) {
outputStream.writeBytes(s+"\n");
outputStream.flush();
}
outputStream.writeBytes("exit\n");
outputStream.flush();
try {
su.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
res = readFully(response);
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
Closer.closeSilently(outputStream, response);
}
return res;
}
public static String readFully(InputStream is) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
while ((length = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
baos.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
return baos.toString("UTF-8");
}
The utility to silently close a number of Closeables (So?ket may be no Closeable) is:
public class Closer {
// closeAll()
public static void closeSilently(Object... xs) {
// Note: on Android API levels prior to 19 Socket does not implement Closeable
for (Object x : xs) {
if (x != null) {
try {
Log.d("closing: "+x);
if (x instanceof Closeable) {
((Closeable)x).close();
} else if (x instanceof Socket) {
((Socket)x).close();
} else if (x instanceof DatagramSocket) {
((DatagramSocket)x).close();
} else {
Log.d("cannot close: "+x);
throw new RuntimeException("cannot close "+x);
}
} catch (Throwable e) {
Log.x(e);
}
}
}
}
}
Process p;
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
try {
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(params[0]);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
output.append(line + "\n");
p.waitFor();
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String response = output.toString();
return response;
