adblib Call ctrl+c on remote device?

I know it's possible as the original app developer has a Ctrl+C send option in his adb app built in, but I was wondering how to send such a command for myself using this library. I can't seem to find out how.

Ctrl+C is usually just app termination. What original project are you talking about?

I mean this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgutman.androidremotedebugger. It's built using the plugin and features a ctrl+c option. I don't know how to send such a command myself though

Is it open source? If not I guess you should ask the author.

Only the library is open source alas... I already left a message on his github

Hi @Jolanrensen

Perhaps you can try execute the following shell command through this library:

shell: kill -SIGINT [Process PID]

@guadaran Thanks for the tip, but for this you will need to get the current PID and that might be hard. I did read something about adb shell having an escape character "~" but I wasn't able to prepend it before a command using this plugin. The actual problem is that the plugin doesn't work as expected on cyanogenmod/lineage os devices and this can be solved in the app by sending ctrl+c so I tried to implement this in my app as well...

Looks like this has already been answered here: https://github.com/cgutman/AdbLib/issues/8#issuecomment-338238792
