Send command to terminal on Android using Java

Question

I'm new in Java and I don't know how can I send a terminal command by code. The device uses Android Nougat 7.1.2. What I need to do is send the following commands "su pm disable com.android.systemui" to the terminal after the user pressed a button. I need advice how to do that, I don't know if it's possible. Sorry for the dumb question.

Note: My original problem was to deactive permanently the nav bar and the notification bar in my system (I have root access) and this is the solution I have chosen.

Thanks for reading

Answer 1

public void setSystemUIEnabled(boolean enabled){
    try {
        Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
        DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
        os.writeBytes("pm " + (enabled ? "enable" : "disable") 
            + " com.android.systemui\n");
        os.writeBytes("exit\n");
        os.flush();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

btw. this isn't reliable way for disabling whole UI, Android may occasionally bring back systemui to life...
