Create a app that execute linux chrooted command ? - Java for Android App Development

Hi there,
For getting straight to point : I want to create apps that can execute linux chrooted command but i can't figured out how the hell i can do that things . It is possible ?
thks

Sure, there are libraries like roottools or rootcommands. just search github for them

execute su
with these code you can execute commands as root
Code:
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream()) );
String message = "ls";
writer.write(message); //write other commands

[Q][DEV] Writing to /data partition without root?

Hello I am desperately trying to run a shell script from my java app.
I tried to use http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec%28java.lang.String%29 Runtime Exec to run it and it works except nothing really happens and the script is not executed.
My command was "/system/bin/sh /data/local/test.sh", of course properly chmodded. I tried running the test.sh directly, even tried opening a SH instance and pushing commands to the console via output buffer - nothing works.
When I try to run SU for example using any of these methods, I get prompted for superuser access, so it does work, just doesn't work like I want.
Anybody has any idea what's wrong? Or alternative way to run a script post-boot? (init.d executes too early in the startup process for my needs)
Are you capturing the error stream, or just the output stream?
This is everything I tried:
Code:
String[] str = { "/system/bin/sh", "/data/local/test.sh" };
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(str);
p.waitFor();
Code:
Process p2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/system/bin/sh /data/local/test.sh");
p2.waitFor();
Code:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = runtime.exec("/system/bin/sh");
OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
String str = "/data/local/test.sh";
byte[] cmds = str.getBytes();
os.write(cmds);
os.flush();
os.close();
calling just "/system/bin/sh" or "su" works - it actually waits indefinitely in each approach but once I try to execute a script it won't budge. I also attempted to run other parametrized commands like "setprop persist.sys.use_dithering 0" and it also failed. I'll try to intercept the error stream, good point.

You need the "-c" option to execute a script:
Sorry I missed that in your first post.
Code:
String[] str = { "/system/bin/sh", [COLOR="Red"]"-c",[/COLOR] "/data/local/test.sh" };
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(str);
p.waitFor();
nope, this is what I have
Code:
String[] str = { "/system/bin/sh", "-c", "/data/local/test.sh" };
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(str);
p.waitFor();
still no effect, the /data/local/test.sh is 0777 and only contains
Code:
echo "success" > /data/local/testresult.txt
The same command works from ADB even without the -c switch but with the exec command nothing happens.
finally progress
Update: according to the error output the file gets executed BUT it doesn't have permission to write in /data/local/ same problem if I try to write to this dir with java API.
My script needs to write there so I have only one question - is there a permission that would allow me to execute a script with access right to /data partition without root?
I want to modify the userdata partition after first boot of the ROM but I can't ask the user for root, I want to execute my tweaks and reboot the device before even the android login wizard appears so asking for root that has a prompt with timeout is not an option.
I know of an alternative way to do it but it's even more hacky than this and I would like to avoid someone vomiting over my code
Does it need to be /data/local? /data/local/tmp is world-writable on most devices.
In the end it needs to be /data/data/ actually, I want to mess with default settings of apps, system settings database for example... does that mean I need root or game over? Is there no permission for app to get access to the userdata partition?
As far as I know, the Dalvik system was set up that way on purpose to prevent errant apps from causing any problems elsewhere, and to maintain decent security (look how out of control Windows has become), so to answer your question, Yes, I believe you will need root.

No, you can't write to /data/data without root (as that would be a major security risk).
Ok thanks guys I will try my dirty workaround

[HowTo]Execute Root Commands and read output

You can learn here how to execute shell commands as root and read output and errors
What you will need:
Eclipse with ADT plugin
Basic knowledge of java
Rooted android device
Note
Root commands should always be executed in background thread, you can use AsyncTask for example
I won't explain here how to use AsyncTask, maybe in another tut.
Also note that I'm a relative beginner myself so I won't use professional terms I'll try to explain in my own words, so I'm sorry in advance if you have no idea what I'm talking about
1. First thing that we need to do is open a new root shell like this:
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
Make sure to destroy this process after finished
2. Open input output and error streams to write commands and read output
Code:
OutputStream stdin = process.getOutputStream();
stdin is used to write commands to shell. This is OutputStream, which means that using this stream we can execute command(like writing command in terminal)
Code:
InputStream stderr = process.getErrorStream();
InputStream stdout = process.getInputStream();
stderr and stdout are used to read output and error of a command which we executed.
3. Now we actually execute commands
Code:
stdin.write(("ls\n").getBytes());
//after you exec everything that you want exit shell
stdin.write("exit\n".getBytes());
"\n" at the end of the command means new line(like when you press enter in terminal). This is important, if you dont add new line it same like you didn't press enter
4. Flush and close OutputStream
Code:
stdin.flush(); //flush stream
stdin.close(); //close stream
5. Read output and error of a executed command
Code:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stdout));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
Log.d("[Output]", line);
}
br.close();
br =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
Log.e("[Error]", line);
}
br.close();
We read output and error (if any) line by line and write it to logcat
You can of course do anything with output(display in TextView for example)
6. Finally we destroy opened shell
Code:
process.waitFor();//wait for process to finish
process.destroy();
You need to handle InteruptedException and IOException.
Hope this helps someone. Again sorry for stupid explanations. I totally understand all this but English isn't my primary language so its a but hard to explain...
Here is whole code;
Code:
try {
String line;
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
OutputStream stdin = process.getOutputStream();
InputStream stderr = process.getErrorStream();
InputStream stdout = process.getInputStream();
stdin.write(("ls\n").getBytes());
stdin.write("exit\n".getBytes());
stdin.flush();
stdin.close();
BufferedReader br =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stdout));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
Log.d("[Output]", line);
}
br.close();
br =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
Log.e("[Error]", line);
}
br.close();
process.waitFor();
process.destroy();
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
Yea roottools is better solution, it handles opening shell for you, its easier, less code, and in my experience a little bit faster.
Here is an example:
Code:
Command command = new Command(0, "ls")
{
@Override
public void output(int id, String line)
{
// Handle output here
}
};
RootTools.getShell(true).add(command).waitForFinish();
And also do this when exiting application
Code:
RootTools.closeAllShells();

Everyone should read the How-To SU guide by Chainfire:
http://su.chainfire.eu/
Usable example code is on Github. In the meanwhile there's an interactive shell (like in RootTools) available too:
https://github.com/Chainfire/libsuperuser
I noticed that you called your InputStream stdout and your OutputStream stdin. Is there any reason that you chose to reverse the usual naming?
Great work but i would be delighted if op mentioned root commands and how to use them

Its confusing I know.
I'll try to explain
You use InputStream to read output of the shell so I called it stdout
Output of a shell/terminal is called stdout
You use OutputStream to write to shell(input to shell) so its stdin
Passing commands to terminal is stdin
It stands for standard output/input
More about stdin, stdout, stderr

There is no such thing as root command.
commands can be executed as root user or as normal user.

I'm not really sure what you are asking. Any command can be executed as root.
Maybe you should read a bit about linux and shell

There are some commands that will just make sense as root. However, why should anyone write a tutorial about how to use some commands very few persons will need. Google "Linux command <what you want to do>" and you will find explanations. Many commands are just more flexible when executed like this.
I really recommend that. You will need it when you develop a root app. And you can use the adb shell! Great help.
@OP: What's about mentioning that you should use the busybox commands as the system's implementation of the shell commands differs from device to device and from ROM to ROM?
I also recommend RootTools. One of the best libraries in my opinion!

Purpose of this tutorial is to show how to execute commands as root, not how to use certain Linux commands.
And besides, using busybox is not always best solution, what if device doesn't have it installed, what if busybox doesn't have that command.
For example you would definitely not use "busybox echo" or "busybox ls".
Devs should already know how to use Linux, this is just to show how to do it from java.

You are right. It is true that nobody would use busybox for very simple commands.
However, RootTools has the RootTools.offerBusyBox(Activity activity) Method which opens Google Play to download a busybox installer.

I once did run into troubles parsing the results of "ls" command. Usually 'ls' is just the short table-style list, while you could get all the details with 'ls -l'. This is what I needed. But when testing on the Motorola Milestone unfortunately 'ls' was sym-linked to 'ls -l', therefore calling 'ls -l' would result in an error message. Don't know if more devices act like that (didn't test on any other Motorola phones, and the Milestone is quite old by now), but maybe it still makes sense to use busybox for 'normal' command in some cases...

Why don't you do it this way?
Code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su", "-c", "cd system; mkdir abcdjdj");
Note that you need to pass the commands you want to execute to the command method, not the path.

It gives a syntax error. I guess it should have been - Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "su", "-c", "cd system; mkdir abcdjdj" });
It runs fine on my phone but I still don't see a folder called abcdjdj is /system

You are right, it should have been that.
Try to add the full path:
Code:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
runtime.exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "mkdir /system/abcdef"});
runtime.exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "mkdir /system/aaab; mkdir /system/aaac"});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I think that executing your first idea should work if you execute
Code:
runtime.exec("su");
and then write the commands to the outputstream as described in the first post of this thread.
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------
However, I recommend using roottools.
If you need to execute commands rarely it will be fine that way, but if you need to execute commands often, there will be annoying Toast messages every time. Using roottools, there will be such a message just once when the app requests SU rigths for the first time after the launch.

Yes, root tools is a great alternative. I use it a lot in my app. If you want, check my github for examples.

You can restart the service using adb's ActivityManager (am) using the following command
Code:
am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService
To execute the same command from your app, make use of Runtime.
Code:
final Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
runtime.exec("su -c am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService");
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Try below code. Cant test it ATM
Code:

File myfile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "test.txt");
myfile.createNewFile();
String data ="My test data";
//write the data in file
if(myfile.exists())
{
try {
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(myfile);
os.write(data);
os.close();
Toast.makeText(this, "File created successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}catch (IOException e)
{e.printStackTrace();}
runtime.exec("su -c" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "test.txt" + "/system/");
}
//deleting the temp file
file.delete();
Toast.makeText(this, "File copied and deleted from temp dir", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
To start it again, put that in a function and call that function whenever you want to execute it.
Example of function:
Code:
public void myfunc(){
//Your code to be executed more than once
}
And in some other function, say onCreate(), call
Code:
myfunc();

That's gonna be different. You have to put the file in asserts and extract the file to system more or less the same why like creating the file and copying it to system.
And for systemUI restart, you can try this:
Code:
Process p;
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService\n");
Its pretty much the same but with a little different approach.

Let me try a working code today. Sorry for posting non working codes as I can not home yestersay to test 'em. BTW, you can also look for it in opensource xposed framework modules because many xposed modules needs to do a restart of systemui.

Ok...a friend of mine who has more experience than me said, the code is correct but is not working with recent builds. Searching doesnt give me any convincing results. So thought to provide you code to hot reboot. This code is tested and works well.
Code:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "setprop ctl.restart zygote"});
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
This will cause the zygote to restart which will in turn makes the whole system core reboot. Works well on my Galaxy note running 4.1.2. This the easiest method I can think although I could restart systemui by killing SystemUI process by "kill pid" But it would be lots of work to find systemui pid because it is not static

That's not a whole system reboot. It only restarts core system services. So its already fast than normal reboot.
Anyway, NVM, found a better working method which is working on my Galaxy Note N7000 running 4.1.2
Code:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec("su -c pkill com.android.systemui ");
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

Scripting Commands in Android App?

Hi All,
Things I am trying to do:
1. Connect to remote system
2. Run perl command and get the output on screen.
Could you please guide me on the process where in I can connect to a remote windows/unix machine and run build commands.
Any examples?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Kino
Hi!
I've made something similar - An App that runs some shell scripts on an Ubuntu server over SSH.
Here are some code snippets, hope this helps you
Code:
JSch jsch = new JSch();
Session session = jsch.getSession([I]'ssh-username'[/I],IP, [I]'ssh-port'[/I]);
session.setPassword(SW); // SW ... password ssh-user (for me it's the same pw, ssh-user = su)
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
session.setConfig(prop);
session.connect();
Channel channel = session.openChannel("exec");
Code:
if(SU) // If Command should run as SU
{
sudoCommand = "sudo -S -p '' " + command;
}
else
{
sudoCommand = command;
}
((ChannelExec) channel).setCommand(sudoCommand);
((ChannelExec) channel).setPty(true);
channel.connect();
OutputStream out = channel.getOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream responseStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
channel.setOutputStream(responseStream);
if(SU)
{
out.write((SW + "\n").getBytes());
out.flush();
}
Thread.sleep(1000);
out.write(("logout" + "\n").getBytes());
out.flush();
Thread.sleep(500);
out.write(("exit" + "\n").getBytes());
out.flush();
out.close();
session.disconnect();
channel.disconnect();
Thank you LinuxForce. Thats helpful. I am trying to work on this.

Two processes start when I programatically start a shell, but only on one phone

I have the same app on two different phones that have root access but I get different behavior from them while creating a shell. One phone runs CM12, the other runs CM13. My program runs a compiled executable and basically uses the code below. The executables I run won't stop until I close the shell. For this thread, we'll call it "specialProgram". I use 'ps' while using a terminal emulator to check what processes are running.
Code:
........
..................
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
int processID = -1;
try {
Field f = process.getClass().getDeclaredField("pid");
f.setAccessible(true);
processID = f.getLong(process);
f.setAccessible(false);
} catch (Exception e) {}
System.out.println("Process: " + processID);
OutputStream stdout = process.getOutputStream();
stdout.write("specialProgram\n").getBytes());
..................
........
The phone that runs CM12 will create two processes, one call "su" and another called "specialProgram". The process ID for the process that is called "su", matches the processID for my variable 'processID'.
The phone that runs CM13 will only create a process called "specialProgram". This processes ID matches what my variable 'processID' becomes.
What I assume is that I'm creating a new process from within that shell, when I write to the OutputStream. But this only happens on one of my phones. Why?
So I think I figured it out. When I run
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
it creates a process. And then when I run
Code:
stdout.write("specialProgram\n").getBytes());
it create another process. Closing the first process won't close the second process. I made my own class to properly close them though.
