I am trying to execute swipe command from my Apk using
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("adb shell input swipe 250 300 -800 300");
but nothing happens and no error occurs during runtime.
Do i have to add anything in manifest to get it to work?
You can only execute /system/bin/input as the root or shell user; this will not work in an app. The command should not start with "adb shell" when running from the app.
To run the command as root:
Process su = null;
try {
su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
su.getOutputStream().write("input swipe 250 300 -800 300\n".getBytes());
su.getOutputStream().write("exit\n".getBytes());
su.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (su != null) {
su.destroy();
}
}
You should also check out third party libraries for handling su commands: https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/451
