I am trying to use runtime exec within an emulator shell for ANDROID.
The normal commands (such as logcat -c and ls) work. However, if I
type logcat -d -f <filepath> the file is created but nothing is piped
into it. If I type logcat -d > <filepath> even the file is not
created. Please let me know if this is an issue with runtime exec.

Thank you in advance!

The latter is: pipes and redirections are a thing of the shell.
Runtime.exec does *not* invoke a shell. So things like | and > do not
work. The first syntax should work, however. How about an SSCCE?

I'm unfamiliar with Android and it's shell. If possible you can have
runtime call the shell and then print to it rather than passing the
arguments directly. On Linux it looks like:

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();

Process proc = rt.exec ("/bin/bash");

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new
OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream())));

out.println("command");
