Question

All I want to achieve is to get the response from the execution.
For example if I execute command like this “ls”
I want to get string with all the files and directories

For example like this

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");

But I do not know how to get the response.

I run something like this, I thought that I will redirect the output but still nothing

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls",null,new File("/sdcard/myFile") );

I tried also something like this but still nothing

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("echo | ls > /sdcard/myfile");

Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Have you tried this?

String cmd = "commands";
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

StringBuilder log = new StringBuilder();
String line;
 while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()).length() > -1)
 {
  log.append(line);
 }
