In fact, that is a large part of what that script does. Sure, but once you have changed the permissions, subsequent access directly from java should be as possible as subsequent access by means of the shell and echo. And a lot more efficient, as you don't have to create a process or two each time. I now notice your sequence of shell commands doesn't actually set the value, so perhaps you already were planning to do the subsequent access to the value directly from java. -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
