Lets us unleash the potential of the ANDROID BEAST!!!- 1st exercise
Creating a server so that we can access the directories of our like from the phone directly through the browser!! no need of USB cable and the sluggish Kies (coz i own a Samsung galaxy S ) (:
Step1: To find IP address of the phone.
- Open SL4A application(find the installation guide here )
- Tap the "menu" key then "View"
- Select "Interpreters"
- Open the "Shell"
Make sure internet is working. Type "netcfg" in the shell, now the result will be something like this:
lo UP 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x00000049
svnet0 UP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x000000d1
ifb0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000082
ifb1 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000082
usb0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00001002
sit0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000080
ip6tnl0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000080
eth0 UP 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 0x00001043
Leave the first line "lo" and look for the remaining having "UP" next to them. In my case the IP is 192.168.1.6
Step2: Create a script having the following code:
import SimpleHTTPServer
from os import chdir
chdir('/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/')
SimpleHTTPServer.test()
Save and Run the code and open the browser on your computer and type:
your IP address:Portaddress i.e, 192.168.1.6:8000 in my case.
By default android uses port address 8000.
Now u should be able to see the contents of the "Camera" folder. You can change this to any other directory. Right Click on any link and save it.
Hope you enjoyed it:)
