escapeShell

String escapeShell (String str)

Escapes a String for use in an Android shell command.

Parameters
str String: the String to escape
Returns
String the Android shell escaped String

paramsToArgs

List<String> paramsToArgs (List<String> params)

Converts the provided parameters via options to command line args to sub process

This method will do a simplistic generic unescape for each parameter in the list. It replaces \[char] with [char]. For example, \" is converted to ". This allows string with escaped double quotes to stay as a string after being parsed by QuotationAwareTokenizer. Without this QuotationAwareTokenizer will break the string into sections if it has space in it.

Parameters
params List: parameters received via options
Returns
List<String> list of string representing command line args
