Run Adb Shell Commands From Java Code On Different Platforms

I am using Mac to run Java program which contains some commands to execute on a remote Android device. When I execute my program on a Windows machine it gives proper output but whe

Solution 1:

Better use ProcessBuilder instead. But if you insist on using Runtime.getRuntime().exec() - use .exec(String[] cmdarray) instead of your current .exec(String command):

private static final String DUMPSYSCOMMAND = "dumpsys package com.PACKAGENAME.service | grep versionName";

String versionString = runADBCommand({"adb", "-s", deviceIP, "shell", DUMPSYSCOMMAND});

...

public String runADBCommand(String[] adbCommand) throws IOException {

...

// do not forget to remove / modify this println - it expect a string
//        System.out.println("adbCommand = " + adbCommand);
