BufferedReader.readLine() method blocking flow

Question

I am hitting some commands through java code with the help of Process Builder. Following is my code

Process poc = null;
List<String> result = new LinkedList<String>();
BufferedReader response = null;

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
pb.directory(new File(commands.get(GlobalConstants.ADB_PATH_WINDOW)));
poc = pb.start();

And I am reading its output using BufferedReader:

response = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(poc.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line = response.readLine()) != null) 
{
    result.add(line);
    if (line.contains("daemon started successfully")) 
    {
        return result;
    }
}

But Sometimes line = response.readLine() method goes in infinite loop . I know what the cause is, but I am unable to resolve this by using readLine() function. Can somebody help me with different reading logic.

Answer 1

maybe the error is comming from another reason. Check if the EOF is really reached by:

try {
while (true) {
    result.add(response.readLine());
    if (line.contains("daemon started successfully")) 
    {
        return result;
    }
} } catch (EOFException e) {}
