I've lifted this off stackoverflow and up to a point converted it to run with c#
private string ReadCPUinfo() { ProcessBuilder cmd; string result=""; try{ string[] args = {"/system/bin/cat", "/proc/cpuinfo"}; cmd = new ProcessBuilder(args); Java.Lang.Process process = cmd.Start(); //System.IO.Stream instr ; //Stream instr = new Stream(); //StreamReader instr = new StreamReader(); //MemoryStream instr = new MemoryStream(); //instr= process.InputStream.; //process.InputStream.CopyTo(instr,1024); //InputStream instr = process.GetInputStream(); byte[] re = new byte[process.InputStream.Length]; long bytestoread = process.InputStream.Length; while (process.InputStream.Read(re,Convert.ToInt32(bytestoread),10) != -1) { //System.out.println(new String(re)); result = result + re.ToString(); } process.InputStream.Close(); } catch(Java.IO.IOException) { // ex.printStackTrace(); } return result; } This throws an 'operation no supported' exception (interestingly referencing M. J Pobst!) at the line where I try to get the length of the process inputstream Now OK that might be illegal but I only put that in because the original code didn't work The original code -see below - (as usual ) is java and needs tweaking to run in c# - I'm not that expert but I succeed on the simpler ones - this has me stumped private String ReadCPUinfo() { ProcessBuilder cmd; String result=""; try{ String[] args = {"/system/bin/cat", "/proc/cpuinfo"}; cmd = new ProcessBuilder(args); Process process = cmd.start(); InputStream in = process.getInputStream(); byte[] re = new byte[1024]; while(in.read(re) != -1){ System.out.println(new String(re)); result = result + new String(re); } in.close(); } catch(IOException ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } return result; First there is no 'process.getInputStream' this gives an error in Monodevelop Also the line result=result + new String(re) doesn't work in c# so I've put in 're.ToString()' - haven't found out if it works because I cant get past the 'operation not supported error' Hence my various lines commented out in my example where I tried various things Incidentally the Monodroid API also refers to Java.Lang.Process and shows a 'getInputStream' I mean where on earth do you go to find the answer - Any help would be worshipped Yours in abject exasperation Tia John Murray
