I’m trying to send a broadcast command with ProcessBuilder. It “works”, but the output is different if I run the same command via terminal:

~ adb shell am broadcast -p com.sample -a sample.action -e "extra" "bla bla"

produces (correctly):

Broadcasting: Intent { act=sample.action flg=0x400000 pkg=com.sample (has extras) }
Broadcast completed: result=0

but the same command via ProcessBuilder produces:

Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x400000 pkg= -p }
Broadcast completed: result=0

any idea why? 🤔

For those flagging this "not kotlin" is there a place to ask Android questions in slack?

[Pablichjenkov]

I mean you can ask here, take the "no kotlin" risk, a good Samaritan might pickup the question.
Normally, I start in stackoverflow

[Pablichjenkov]

Try looking for some related tag there

There are also a few android specific slacks knocking about - Android United for example (not linking because I don't know the policies)

@Pablichjenkov I started with SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74711165/scrollview-exceeding-bounds-of-linearlayout, just waiting on good answers.

Android united link even in this channel description

[Don Branson]

Yeah, already applied.

I just googled for it.

It's intentional off-topic and against this Slack rules, please take a look at Guidelines:

Thanks guys 🙌 and sorry for the off topic, wasn’t my intention to go against the rules. One gets used to the very helpful answers that are given in this slack community. SO sometimes takes to long or never gets any answer at all.
Before asking I’ve searched and googled but with no luck. Will open a SO question.

@Guilherme Delgado No problem at all, my comment was to PablichJenkov, that it’s not nice to knowingly write off-topic questions
