Answer 1

Simple answer.

ProcessBuilder don't have getInputStream method.

See this: ProcessBuilder

You can use:

BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pb.start().getInputStream()));

Answer 2

You are trying to get an InputStream from a ProcessBuilder and that's wrong.

ProcessBuilder.start() returns a Process object, and that's the one who has a getInputStream() method.

Try switching that line for this one.

BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pb.start().getInputStream()));

Or

Process pro = pb.start();
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pro.getInputStream()));
