POAndroid - Threads not executing
text
Body
copied!<p>So yeah, my thread isn't executing, or doing the code within it. I just wanted to run a shell script from my sdcard, and show a "loading" circles or "progress" circle or whatever you want to call it. When I click the button to run the thread, I get the progress/loading bar/circle, but it just sits there and does nothing. I've looked at some examples but still cannot figure out what I did wrong. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>package com.cydeon.plasmamodz; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException; import com.stericson.RootTools.*; import com.stericson.RootTools.exceptions.RootDeniedException; import com.stericson.RootTools.execution.CommandCapture; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.ProgressDialog; import android.content.res.AssetManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Environment; import android.os.Handler; import android.os.Message; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.TextView; public class Install extends Activity{ private static ProgressDialog progressDialog; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.install); Button bInstall = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bInstallTheme); bInstall.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { showDialog(); } }); } public void showDialog(){ progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(Install.this, "", "Installing Theme", true); Thread thread = new Thread(); thread.start(); } public void run(){ try{ Thread.sleep(1000); CommandCapture command = new CommandCapture(0, "su", "sh /sdcard/plasma/scripts/install.sh"); try { RootTools.getShell(true).add(command).waitForFinish(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (TimeoutException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (RootDeniedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }catch (InterruptedException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } handler.sendEmptyMessage(0); } private static Handler handler = new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { progressDialog.dismiss(); } }; } </code></pre> <p>So, am I doing something wrong? Why won't it run my code? Thanks!</p>
