android commandline tips

hi, i installed sshdroid on my galaxy s2 so i am wondering if there is any way to mess around with anything like start a fone call or send a text message from the terminal ?

i am looking for programs like netcat, sshfs, aplay, ... but none can be found.

i also notice this (not sure why):

Code:

/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid # ps auxw | grep tv

 2594 system     0:59 /system/bin/tvoutserver

has anybody done anything cool from the android command line ?

is there someway i can run com.cooliris.media from the commandline ?

Check out botbrew (http://botbrew.com/), it gives you lots of standard Linux tools and programs to use on Android.

There are lots of things which you can do. A few examples... have fun.

To send a SMS :

Quote:

am start -a android.intent.action.SENDTO -d sms:1234567890 --es sms_body "hiya mate, how are you" --ez exit_on_sent true

Make a call :

Quote:

service call phone 2 s16 "0431111222"

Startup GMAIL :

Quote:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.google.android.gm/.ConversationListActivityGmail

thanks daz but these dont work for me... your sms example drafts the message but doesnt send. i would have to clik on send on the fone.

also when i try to make a call i get this error:

Code:

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.google.android.gm/.ConversationListActivityGmail }

# service call phone 2 s16 "617xxx1222" 

Result: Parcel(

  0x00000000: ffffffff 00000022 006e004f 0079006c '...."...O.n.l.y.'

  0x00000010: 00530020 0061006d 00740072 00610063 ' .S.m.a.r.t.c.a.'

  0x00000020: 00640072 00410020 00490050 006d0020 'r.d. .A.P.I. .m.'

  0x00000030: 00790061 00610020 00630063 00730065 'a.y. .a.c.c.e.s.'

  0x00000040: 00200073 00490055 00430043 00000000 's. .U.I.C.C.....')

i am able to bring up gmail using your example (cool).

With the SMS example, i don't know how to send the message automatically, you still need to use the touchscreen.

With making a call, try some different values and see what happens.

Experiment, it won't kill your phone !

sshfs depends on fuse module (which the current android kernel doesnt support).
