I'm trying to start a Java program under Valgring like this (in adb shell):
valgrind am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.me.myapp/.MainActivity I'm getting:
==2362== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==2362== Copyright (C) 2002-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==2362== Using Valgrind-3.8.1 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==2362== Command: am ==2362== /system/bin/sh: am: No such file or directory You have to create a script, lets call it start_valgrind.sh
#!/system/bin/sh PACKAGE="com.example.hellojni" # Callgrind tool #VGPARAMS='-v --error-limit=no --trace-children=yes --log-file=/sdcard/valgrind.log.%p --tool=callgrind --callgrind-out-file=/sdcard/callgrind.out.%p' # Memcheck tool VGPARAMS='-v --error-limit=no --trace-children=yes --log-file=/sdcard/valgrind.log.%p --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes' export TMPDIR=/data/data/$PACKAGE exec /data/local/Inst/bin/valgrind $VGPARAMS $* that should be copied to the device.
Once you have the above script in the start_valgrind.sh file somewhere on your local filesystem you can just use the below script (lets call it bootstrap_valgrind.sh) to do the all the work (copies the start_valgrind.sh script to the phone, runs it, starts your app through Valgrind).
#!/usr/bin/env bash PACKAGE="com.example.hellojni" adb push start_valgrind.sh /data/local/ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/start_valgrind.sh adb root adb shell setprop wrap.$PACKAGE "logwrapper /data/local/start_valgrind.sh" echo "wrap.$PACKAGE: $(adb shell getprop wrap.$PACKAGE)" adb shell am force-stop $PACKAGE adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n $PACKAGE/.HelloJni adb logcat -c adb logcat exit 0 WARNING: Make sure the property name set with setprop i.e. (wrap.com.yourcompany.yourapp) has a length of less than 31 characters.
Otherwise, you'll get the error "could not set property" because you CANNOT set a property name with a length greater than 31, which is the number maximum allowed characters in the property name.
Also the property value should be https://stackoverflow.com/a/5068818/313113
For how to build Valgrind for Android (ARM) see my script from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19255251/313113
1) I had Used the Following script to Generate the Inst Folder Android valgrind build fails
2) The Mistake i was Doing is I have not Given write Permission to all the Folders under inst the MemCheck Tool is Under lib/valgrind .
My findings Copy all the Folders Under Generated Inst(bin,share,inclide,lib) Folder to /data/local/Inst Traverse through each folder and set the Permission to CHMOD 777 *
was facing the Issue Like Memcheck Tool Not Found for arm-linux if i didnot copy all the these Folders 1 folder /Inst facing memcheck permission if dont set the permission to chmod 777 to all the Folders in the Hirearchy
