Question

I want to use command line facility in android to use ffmpeg library.But i am getting IO Exception while trying that,I have stored ffmpeg.exe in /files folder.This is the code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Process p;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/data/data/com.example.ffmpegnew/files/ffmpeg",null, new File("/data/data/com.example.ffmpegnew/files"));

        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("exception"+e);
        }

    }

}

This is the error :

09-16 16:24:38.751: I/System.out(2209): exceptionjava.io.IOException: Error running exec(). Commands: [/data/data/com.example.ffmpegnew] Working Directory: /data/data Environment: null

Please tell me what is the problem.Thanks in advance.

I dont think .exe files run on linux, not to mention probably x86 compiled binary executable .

Further even if you get a arm compiled ffmpeg, you will have to make it executable through chmod
