Re: [android-developers] How to execute shell script file from android application

In addition to the permission restriction, no shell commands are part of the SDK, so anything using exec() is relying on private APIs and likely to break in the future or on different devices.

Hi all,

I am trying to execute a shell script from application using 

java.lang.Process API.

The script file is executing properly as i am able to get logs but the line 

$SETPROP net.if.default rmnet0

is not getting executed.

has anyone able to execute .sh file from application succesfully.

Code Snippet:

//

str={"/system/bin/sh","/sdcard/test.sh"};

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(str);

//

test.sh:

LOG=/system/bin/log

SETPROP=/system/bin/setprop

$LOG -t test"++Setting up default iface"

$SETPROP net.if.default rmnet0

$LOG -t test"++Setting done "
