Please help me to find out solution for this, I Know there are so many questions and duplicates about this same but here i describe whole things which i tried.
I have one android device where its installed 4.0 version of android.
I want to shutdown this device using my one demo application.
1) Demo application is signed by platform keys which are used in built in file system.
2) Device is already rooted as its development board and i have all permissions on this.
Application contains Following things
1) Application is system application
2) Application signed by platform keys which are used in built in file system.
For make automation easier, I did import the key/cert pair into my java keystore file, with the this keytool-importkeypair and use eclipse for signing.
Used command is mentioned below.
Commad : keytool-importkeypair -k ~/Desktop/myown.keystore -p android -pk8 platform.pk8 -cert platform.x509.pem -alias platform
I used following code for reboot but i never make success in this .I read So many questions and answers on stackoverflow but they all said you require
1) root access of device
2) signed apk with any one keys which are available on `build/target/product/security/`
3) Given Proper permission in AndroidManifest.xml file.
Am i right in alomg points?
Application code :
First Try
public static void shutdown2() {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = null;
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
String command = "/system/bin/reboot -p";
try { // Run Script
proc = runtime.exec("/system/xbin/su");
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream());
osw.write(command);
osw.flush();
osw.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (osw != null) {
try {
osw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
try {
if (proc != null)
proc.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (proc.exitValue() != 0) {
}
}
Second Try :
private void shutdown3() {
try {
String[] cmd = { "/system/bin/sh","su","reboot -p"};
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.i("TAG", "Could not reboot 3 ", ex);
}
}
3rd Try :
private void shutdown() {
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
new String[] { "/system/bin/su", "-c",
"/system/bin/reboot -p" });
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.i("TAG", "Could not reboot 1 ", ex);
}
}
In 3rd method I also tried with "/system/bin/su"
The below code worked for me
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "busybox poweroff -f"});
process.waitFor();
A much better solution is to run:
su -c am start -a android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN
You can use a Process for this.

In my application I'm doing:
try {
String[] cmd = {"su", "-c", "\"ls /data/\""}; //to debug, will be cp /src /dest
ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(cmd);
builder.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process process = builder.start();
InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
Log.e("copy", is.toString());
Log.e("copy", convertStreamToString(is));
try {
process.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
The app is installed in /system/app/ and running with root permissions.
I see SuperSu's overlay that it's granted permissions for the operation.
With the cp /src /dest in place of ls command above, it doesn't copy, so debugging with ls, I get:
tmp-mksh: ls /data: not found
Why is this, and how can I fix it?
NB: This is the same issue as this question, except that was resolved by adding external write permissions - I should note that both paths in my command are in /data/...
UPDATE There are a number of other posts asking how to get a Screenshot in android but none seemed to have a full answer of how to do so. Originally I posted this as a question due to a particular issue I was running into while attempting to open a stream to the Frame Buffer. Now I've swapped over to dumping the Frame Buffer to a file so I've updated my post to show how I got there. For reference (and acknowledgement), I found the command to send the FrameBuffer to a file from this post (unfortunately he didn't provide how he got to that point). I'm just missing how to turn the raw data I pulled from the Frame Buffer into an actual image file.
My intention was to take a full dump of the actual screen on an Android Device. The only way I could find to do so without using the adb bridge was to directly access the Frame Buffer of the system. Obviously this approach will require root privileges on the device and for the app running it! Fortunately for my purposes I have control over how the Device is set up and having the device rooted with root privileges provided to my application is feasible. My testing is currently being done on an old Droid running 2.2.3.
I found my first hints of how to approach it from https://stackoverflow.com/a/6970338/1446554. After a bit more research I found another article that describes how to properly run shell commands as root. They were using it to execute a reboot, I use it to send the current frame buffer to an actual file. My current testing has only gotten as far as doing this via ADB and in a basic Activity (each being provided root). I will be doing further testing from a Service running in the background, updates to come! Here is my entire test activity that can export the current screen to a file:
public class ScreenshotterActivity extends Activity {
public static final String TAG = "ScreenShotter";
private Button _SSButton;
private PullScreenAsyncTask _Puller;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
_SSButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.main_screenshotButton);
_SSButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (_Puller != null)
return;
//TODO: Verify that external storage is available! Could always use internal instead...
_Puller = new PullScreenAsyncTask();
_Puller.execute((Void[])null);
}
});
}
private void runSuShellCommand(String cmd) {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = null;
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
StringBuilder sbstdOut = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder sbstdErr = new StringBuilder();
try { // Run Script
proc = runtime.exec("su");
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream());
osw.write(cmd);
osw.flush();
osw.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (osw != null) {
try {
osw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
try {
if (proc != null)
proc.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
sbstdOut.append(readBufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream())));
sbstdErr.append(readBufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getErrorStream())));
}
private String readBufferedReader(InputStreamReader input) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(input);
StringBuilder found = new StringBuilder();
String currLine = null;
String sep = System.getProperty("line.separator");
try {
// Read it all in, line by line.
while ((currLine = reader.readLine()) != null) {
found.append(currLine);
found.append(sep);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
class PullScreenAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
File ssDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "/screenshots");
if (ssDir.exists() == false) {
Log.i(TAG, "Screenshot directory doesn't already exist, creating...");
if (ssDir.mkdirs() == false) {
//TODO: We're kinda screwed... what can be done?
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to create directory structure necessary to work with screenshots!");
return null;
}
}
File ss = new File(ssDir, "ss.raw");
if (ss.exists() == true) {
ss.delete();
Log.i(TAG, "Deleted old Screenshot file.");
}
String cmd = "/system/bin/cat /dev/graphics/fb0 > "+ ss.getAbsolutePath();
runSuShellCommand(cmd);
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
_Puller = null;
}
}
}
This also requires adding the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to the Manifest. As suggested in this post. Otherwise it runs, doesn't complain, doesn't create the directories nor the file.
Originally I couldn't get usable data from the Frame Buffer due to not understanding how to properly run shell commands. Now that I've swapped to using the streams for executing commands I can use '>' to send the Frame Buffer's current data to an actual file...
Programmatically you can run "adb shell /system/bin/screencap -p /sdcard/img.png" as below :
Process sh = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su", null,null);
OutputStream os = sh.getOutputStream();
os.write(("/system/bin/screencap -p " + "/sdcard/img.png").getBytes("ASCII"));
os.flush();
os.close();
sh.waitFor();
An easy solution for ICS devices is to use the following from the command line
adb shell /system/bin/screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png
adb pull /sdcard/screenshot.png screenshot.png
This'll save the screenshot.png file in the current directory.
Tested on a Samsung Galaxy SII running 4.0.3.
That would be different for different phones. It depends on the underlying graphics format of your device. You can poll what the graphics format is using system calls. If you are only going to run this on devices that you know the graphics format of you can write a converter that turns it into a known format.
You can have a look at the following project: http://code.google.com/p/android-fb2png/
If you look at the source code for fb2png.c you can see that they poll FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO which contains info about how the device stores the screen image in memory. Once you know that, you should be able to convert it into a format you can use.
I hope this helps.
On a rooted android device, I tried to run a cat command that read kernel log, as follow:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/system/bin/cat /proc/kmsg");
The su command was successfully executed but not the cat.
I tried to read the output of the command using getInputStream() but nothing was there, as follow:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((read = err.read(buffer)) > 0)
{ //read error to buffer
catOutput.append(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
I used the same code with ls command instead of displaying the kernel log, it worked just fine and show me the result.
I wonder if what error I am getting and wantted to see the error message on the shell when executing the cat command. Tried the p.getErrorStream() but it doesn't give me any result.
Could any one help me with this ? Thanks.
Here's a comprehensive example on how to do this - note that I got the idea from this answer:
public void catKmsg() {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = null;
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
StringBuilder sbstdOut = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder sbstdErr = new StringBuilder();
String command="/system/bin/cat /proc/kmsg";
try { // Run Script
proc = runtime.exec("su");
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream());
osw.write(command);
osw.flush();
osw.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (osw != null) {
try {
osw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
try {
if (proc != null) {
proc.waitFor();
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
sbstdOut.append(ReadBufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(proc.getInputStream())));
sbstdErr.append(ReadBufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(proc.getErrorStream())));
if (proc.exitValue() != 0) {
}
}
I finally found the solution for the problem by using RootTools library.
Recently released (few months after my question was asked), RootTools provides a easy-to-use tool set that helps running commands that required root privilege. I created a wrapper to check if root access is available before executing shell command:
void testRootToolsCommand(String command){
if (RootTools.isRootAvailable())
toastMessage("Root is available !!!");
else {
toastMessage("NO ROOT !!! ");
return;
}
int timeOut = 1000;
try {
List<String> output = RootTools.sendShell(command,timeOut);
toastMessage("OUTPUT of the command \n" + output.toString());
} catch (RootToolsException re) {
toastMessage("Funny thing happened with RootTools!!! ");
} catch (TimeoutException te)
{
toastMessage("Timeout exception - Increase timeout !!! !!! ");
}
catch (Exception e) {
toastMessage(e.getMessage().toString());
}
}
An example of a function call is:
testRootToolsCommand("cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/jun11_4h51.txt");
Note: The Tool also support running multiple commands at once.
I am trying to write an android application that runs a shell commands, or a shell script if that is preferable, and displays the output... can anyone give me in the right direction?
My code is as follows:
void execCommandLine()
{
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = null;
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
try
{
String[] str={"/system/bin/sh","/data/shTest.sh"};
System.out.println("EXEC STRING");
proc = runtime.exec(str);
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream());
//osw.write(command);
osw.flush();
osw.close();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Log.e("erre","ioexception");
//Log.e("execCommandLine()", "Command resulted in an IO Exception: " + command);
return;
}
finally
{
if (osw != null)
{
try
{
osw.close();
}
catch (IOException e){}
}
}
try
{
proc.waitFor();
}
catch (InterruptedException e){}
if (proc.exitValue() != 0)
{
Log.e("erre","interruotexception");
//Log.e("execCommandLine()", "Command returned error: " + command + "\n Exit code: " + proc.exitValue());
}
}
// **************************************
Code is running successfully but I am not getting any output in adb shell logcat
would anyone tell me if this script is executed successfully how to get this output
in Adb shell.
Have you looked into GScript. It is quite flexible.
I would like to know if there is a way to reboot the device through code. Ive tried:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_REBOOT);
i.putExtra("nowait", 1);
i.putExtra("interval", 1);
i.putExtra("window", 0);
sendBroadcast(i);
And added permissions for REBOOT but it still doesnt work.
Thanks
This seemed to work for me:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "su", "-c", "reboot" });
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "Could not reboot", ex);
}
Still for rooted devices, but in case you want safer (process.waitFor() is conditioned, in separate try-catch, we have proper exception handling, "now" added in command after reboot, which is necessary for some devices, etc.) and maybe cleaner code, take a look at this:
Process rebootProcess = null;
try
{
rebootProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su -c reboot now");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// Handle I/O exception.
}
// We waitFor only if we've got the process.
if (rebootProcess != null)
{
try
{
rebootProcess.waitFor();
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
// Now handle this exception.
}
}
You could possibly use the PowerManager to make it reboot (this does not guarantee that it'll reboot - OS may cancel it):

I am using Xamarin. For me the solution is:
Java.Lang.Runtime.GetRuntime().Exec(new String[] { "/system/xbin/su", "-c", "reboot now" });
Here is a solution. Remember, the device must be rooted.
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
os.write("reboot\n\r".getBytes());
os.flush();
}catch(IOException )
If the phone is rooted, it's actually very simple:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("reboot");
} catch (IOException e) {
}
The first command will ask for superuser permission. The second, will reboot the phone.
There is no need for extra permissions in the manifest file since the actual rebooting is handled by the executed comamand, not the app.
