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.

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. :)
