I have been working on a class that uses Runtime.exec and gets its output , however it wasn’t very stable … Now I used this class to get the output of the command “ls /sdcard/” (knowing that I have the right permissions in my Manifest) … (I will write codes below) My problem is that the Text output from the command can be shown as Toast , and it can be set as a text for a button , but not a text for a TextView ! when I run my TextView.settext() , the TextView shows no text at all! What’s weirder is that if I use settext() like TextView.settext("Hey there , I am reset"); it works and shows that text ! Here are the codes :
MainActivity.class/Button.setOnClickListener:
B1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
String sdcard = File.separator+Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+File.separator; //unused
String[] arr = {"ls" , "/sdcard/..ROMS/"};//unused - was for experimentation
String r = shell.sendSingleCommand("ls /sdcard/"); //"r" should now hold the output (stdin and stderr) of the command - shell is defined as Shells shell = new Shells();
B3.setText(r); //Text of the button changes to the String r
text.setText(r); //Text is blank , no text is shown at all , not even what it originally was - "text" is my TextView ... Here's my problem
Show(r); // a method that shows a Toast for a given String - shows the String r normally in a normal Toast ...
}
});
Declarations of most variables in MainActivity:
final Button B1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
final Button B2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
final Button B3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
final SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("seaskyways.testingproject",0);
final TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.testing_text_view);
final Shells shell = Shells.Shells(); //which returns new Shells()
