I'm currently developing an app which requires some adb commands
First i have a seperate module in application Module1, and there is com.mordred.xyz.Main class in there
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("mordred main class is instantiated");
// rest of code
}
}
I'm instantiating that Main class (com.mordred.xyz.Main) via adb (adb shell dalvikvm -cp com.mordred.MyApplication com.mordred.xyz.Main
)
and i have an MainActivity in my application (com.mordred.MyApplication.MainActivity)
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// MainActivity rest of code
}
}
so the question is How can i inform the application.MainActivity that the "Main class is instantiated through adb" even if application is closed?
I tried to Context.sendIntent but it requires Context object, and also i cannot pass Context object from MainActivity nor other object (because i want Main class can be instantiated even if application is not running)
i dont want to use hidden apis (IActivityManager has broadcastIntent method but that class is hidden system api)
What can i do for it?
UPDATE:
eureka, probably i found a way,
i will set a hardcoded path in Main class and create a dummy file in there, and then will give a readable and writable permissions to everyone via File.setReadable() and then when Main class is instantiated, it will write something like "Main: 1" into that file, and then i will add a check into application's MainActivity class that will check that file if its "Main: 1" or not, ("Main: 1" means that the Main class is instantiated otherwise "Main: 0" means vice versa)
Ok i found a cleaner and nicer way to do it, yeah its reflection hack :P
here is the function that i made to send Intents globally which can be called from everywhere
i tested it and it works good, and also note that: it is for >Marshmallow, (because of main broadcastIntent() method's parameter types)
public void sendGlobalIntent(Intent intent,String[] requiredPermissions) {
try {
Class<?> cActivityManagerNative = Class
.forName("android.app.ActivityManagerNative");
Method mGetDefault = cActivityManagerNative.getMethod("getDefault");
mGetDefault.setAccessible(true);
Object oActivityManagerNative = mGetDefault.invoke(null);
Method[] methods = cActivityManagerNative.getMethods();
Method m = null;
for (Method method : methods) {
if (m.getName().equals("broadcastIntent")) {
m = method;
}
}
if (m == null) {
return;
}
m.setAccessible(true);
m.invoke(oActivityManagerNative, null, intent, null, null, 0, null,
null, requiredPermissions, -1, null, true, false, android.os.Process.myUid() / 100000);
