You get an InputStream from the Process returned by the exec call.
Read and study the javadoc for java.lang.Runtime an java.lang.Process.

I started reading that, but it still doesn't complete sense. Are there
any other more descriptive documents on this out there?

Seems that you are looking for a terminal emulator like this one ..

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
I actually just used this in my app. I had to make terminal commands
etc. Some awesome, Epson made something for us to use called
shellcommand (just Google it).
You can see it used in our source code if you want. It works great.
https://github.com/R0gerP0dacter/BatteryCalibrator
Just dig down into the activities.

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
i just replied to this thread but i guess i'm new so the post didnt go
thru?
i just used "cat" and "echo" commands in my app we just finished
recently. the person above who mentioned getting the InputStream is
correct. i cant paste in the entire code example, but if you search
the web for "shellcommand" this is already developed to allow you to
easily perform terminal commands of this nature in your java code. it
clearly shows how to get the exec call return etc.
i linked the source code of my app for reference on github, but i'm
probably not allowed to post links yet.
hope this message goes thru this time.

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
The terminal emulator code doesn't make since to me. Looks like
there's some native code stuff going on in there.
As for the battery calibration app, who exactly wrote the
ShellCommand.java file, and is there any documentation to go with it?
It sort of makes sense, but I can't piece it together. A google search
didn't turn up much.
Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
what doesnt make sense? i'll use the two commands we used as example,
"cat" and "echo". we had to use those two. the shellcommand works
for both root access, and non-root if that's what you want. from the
code all we did is:
ShellCommand shell_command = new ShellCommand();
CommandResult command_result =
shell_command.sh.runWaitFor("echo
xx");
replace whatever terminal command you want between the quotes ""
there.
you could also do that same command as root access (not really
relevant here, just example) by replacing the SHELL with SU, so:
CommandResult command_result = shell_command.su.runWaitFor("echo xx");
me and my partner wrote the battery calibrator app. but we just asked
for permission from the guy who wrote the shellcommand class. sorry i
dont know his name, my bud contacted him. but there is a short thread
on XDA about it. sorry there's not any docs that i know of.
i linked you to it because the shellcommand does show how to get the
inputstream and all. you likely could just take just that portion
from the try/catch commands, and put it into your own code to run the
exec call and all. otherwise you could see about just including the
entire shellcommand class in your code like we did.

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
Sorry for not explaining it quite clearly the first time. So those 2
little code snippets I just posted above, those are from the
ds2784battery class we used in my app, near the end of the file.
Those are actually using the shellcommand class we imported. And when
those code snippets give you the actual result of whatever command you
put in quotes, and return it to you as a string.
However you also could just look right at the shellcommand class and
see the inputstream code right from the try catch statements and
mimick that in your code. But we just used the class to make it easy
since the work is there done already.
Hope this helps a little.

[android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
SUCCESS!
I'm not going to copy the shellcommand.java file, but digging through
it more and experimenting, I got something that works which I can now
expand on.
Thanks a lot.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Running adb logcat and dmesg commands from within my app.
Note that shell commands are not part of the SDK, so there are no guarantees
that commands you are executing will continue to work in the future.
