There are a couple problems here. 1. The phone doesn't have the adb command installed on it and doesn't need it. adb shell is only to be able to run shell commands from a computer on the phone. 2. Permission denied is the default (confusing and buggy) error code returned when you try and execute a command that doesn't exist.
If you just want a shell run, try /system/bin/sh as the executable to run. b On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Anshul <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am trying to run an ADB shell command from inside an android app > using the JAVA's Runtime.getRunTime.exec API.
