Passing parameters to a Python script

[confuste]

Hello.
How can I pass arguments to my python script?

The original script must be run as follows (3 arguments):
$ python main.py --inject video_input.mp4 video_output.mp4

(Specifically I'm trying to use this script: https://github.com/google/spatial-media ).

Thank you.

Hi confuste,

Although I have never tried passing variables to the script, you can try two different approaches.

1. Add parameters to the config setting for the script.

public static final String PYTHON_MAIN_SCRIPT_NAME = "hello.py";

DROID_PYTHON/apk-2.7/app/src/main/java/com/android/python27/config/GlobalConstants.java

1. Add the parameters to the arguments array list or environment variables in scriptservice.java .

DROID_PYTHON/apk-2.7/app/src/main/java/com/android/python27/ScriptService.java

Let me know if you get it working and what approach for others. ill add it to the wiki.

Hello again

The first way can't work because with the "PYTHON_MAIN_SCRIPT_NAME" your project must generate the file with File java class but...

The second way works fine!

I have add the parameters in BackGroundScriptService.java (no ScriptService.java)

DROID_PYTHON/apk-2.7/app/src/main/java/com/android/python27/BackGroundScriptService.java

This is the code:

/* arguments List */
ArrayList<String> args = new ArrayList<>();
args.add(scriptName);
//I deleted this argument
//args.add("--foreground"); 

//I added three arguments more
args.add("--argument1");
args.add("input_file");
args.add("output_file");

Thank you very much ainsophical
