Get the Response from Commandline

Hi,

With TestComplete Android using python, i am trying to get the Date from one of the connected Systems to get the System date

 

Testedapp is linked to ADB exe:

 

  TestedApps.adb.Params.ActiveParams.CommandLineParameters = "-s DEVNAME shell date"
  TestedApps.adb.Run() .

 

How do i get the return value from the execution of this commandline?.

    Hi Vikram,

     

    To run ADB shell commands on an Android device, you should use the Device.ShellExecute method:

    def Test():
  Mobile.SetCurrent("emulator-5554")
  strDate = Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("date") # Do not prefix commands with "adb shell"

  Log.Message(strDate)

    # Result:
    # Thu May 26 11:56:37 GMT 2016
