1003239 - ADBDeviceHandler does not set time on Android 2.3 or Android x86 emulators

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

The Android 2.3 and Android x86 emulator jobs use ADBDeviceHandler.set_device_time to execute 'date' on the device, but it always reports a failure.

This isn't of much concern since the emulator inherits the host's time, and seems to keep accurate time anyway:

17:01:42     INFO - Getting output from command: ['/tools/android-sdk18/platform-tools/adb', '-s', 'emulator-5554', 'shell', 'date']
17:01:42     INFO - Copy/paste: /tools/android-sdk18/platform-tools/adb -s emulator-5554 shell date

17:01:42     INFO - Output received:
17:01:42     INFO -  Sat Apr 26 00:01:41 GMT 2014

Still it seems a shame to keep executing failing code, and I wonder if this might be affecting bug 993146, an intermittent hang during the install step.

I think "date [phone]" (leading plus, no fraction) is more correct...but it does not seem to on the emulator either. 

Using YYYYMMDD.hhmmss format does seem to work though:

# date
Tue Apr 29 08:08:10 PDT 2014
# date -s 20140429.101400
Tue Apr 29 10:14:00 PDT 2014
# date
Tue Apr 29 10:14:01 PDT 2014

Attachment: use alternate format to set time on android emulator via adb

Tested on ash...
