I have a program, which must execute only one command

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("adb shell input tap 0 0")
But I'm getting an error

Although I've added adb to path into properties on Windows and can run abd commands throw Android Studio console (but in Android Studio console command is not green). How to solve this problem? This command is working throw Studio console command
adb is a tool you use on your computer, "adb shell" opens a shell on the device (or emulator), and "adb shell command" runs the command on it.
So if you want to run the command programmatically on the device, just remove "adb shell":
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("input tap 0 0")
                @ Cédric LE MOING I followed your answer for the command adb shell wm overscan", "0,0,0,-220 but the only thing it did was stop the message of exception of error no 13 from coming, it didn't execute anything

I got it like this
 fun commandAdb() {
    InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation.executeShellCommand("svc wifi disable")
    InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation.executeShellCommand("svc data disable")
                Is it still working? Because Android Studio gives me import error of InstrumentationRegistry and executeShellCommand seems not to be visible in IDE's prompt...
