Your best choice would be Runtime class, it can be used like:

String yourCommand = "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.test/.AdminReceiver";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(yourCommand);

  • You should fix your variable names to be consistent.

    Actually it looks like as long as the approach mentioned above will work for executing shell commands in general it is not that simple when it comes to adb commands specifically. For more detailed explanation it was already answered here stackoverflow.com/a/52682468/4153947 and here stackoverflow.com/questions/44871391/… Thus I would propose that you can mark your question as duplicate and read the above threads.

    @JhonDoe I think you will need to root your phone in order to execute adb from an app.
