commands running on simulator not on android phone

Question

I ran the ad shell on my simulator and executed the following commands:-

cd /proc
cd binder
cat transaction_log

But when i ran the adb shell on my android phone and ran the following commands

cd /proc
cd binder

HERE I GOT AN ERROR SAYING CAN"T cd to BINDER

Can anyone tell what the problem is?

you might need root permission to do this. it will work in Emulator but not on phones. — Padma Kumar, Aug 28 '12 at 11:38

It just means that the /proc/binder/ folder does not exist on your phone...

Then the folder exists on your friend's phone but not yours – sdabet Aug 28 '12 at 11:36
i ran the following code FILE *trans1; trans1=fopen("/proc/binder/transcation_log","r"); if(trans1==NULL) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO,"Tarun99","cannot open trans1 file error %s", strerror(errno)); i am not able to see the file but if i run through adb shell i am able to view that file – chiv Aug 28 '12 at 12:44
