Android Program freezes

Question

Okay, been working on Android program and since its JAVA based, I figured this might be a place to get some good advice.
I have been writing this program to run tcpdump, but for some reason it freezes and crashes. I am able to execute the shell commands, but after executing them, the app freezes and crashes.

I am able to get the output, of the shell command, so it does work, but I can't seem to track down what is causing it to crash. Here is the function that is causing the app to crash.

public String tcpdumprun(String FIN_PASSED_CMD){

  try {
      // Executes the command.
      process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "/data/tcpdump -vv -s 0 -w /sdcard/dump.txt"});

      // Reads stdout.
      // NOTE: You can write to stdin of the command using
      //       process.getOutputStream().
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
              new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
      int read;
      char[] buffer = new char[4096];
      StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
      while ((read = reader.read(buffer)) > 0) {
          output.append(buffer, 0, read);
      }

      reader.close();

      // Waits for the command to finish.
      process.waitFor();

      return output.toString();
  } catch (IOException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
  } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
  }
}

The passes argument is not being used currently while I test the functionality.

Also, here is the log cat output when it crashes.

try using logi to see where your console crashes. it should be in the logfile

Yea, not sure where to find logi. Usually I use logcat when trying to figure out android program issues. My assumption is my buffer usage, but still investigating..

luskbo 24 Newbie Poster · Answer 2 · 2012-02-23T20:45:12+00:00

Okay, so got it to work a different way. Basically I have removed the buffer usage for now and started the process without it. But it is working for now. :)
