I am programming an Android-application with cordova. This app gets only installed on dedicated Android 5.1.1-devices. Among others I have the functionality to clear all the apps data. I have implemented this functionality in a cordova-plugin:
// My Cordova Plugin java
if (action.equals("factory_reset")) {
try {
Log.i(TAG, "Factory Reset");
((ActivityManager)cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext().getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE)).clearApplicationUserData();
rebootDevice();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.w(TAG, "Error while doing a Factory Reset", ex);
}
}
I want to reboot the device, after the deletion of all app-data is finished. Here is my reboot-function:
private void rebootDevice(){
Context mContext = cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext();
PowerManager pManager = (PowerManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
pManager.reboot(null);
}
The reboot function itself is working. However I have the problem, that it doesn't reach this function when I call ((ActivityManager)cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext().getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE)).clearApplicationUserData();
because the app immediately get's force closed.
How can I solve this? How can I clear the application-data AND reboot the device?
I went for this solution:
My Plugincode:
public boolean execute(final String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
if (action.equals("factory_reset")) {
clearApplicationData();
rebootDevice();
}
}
The private-functions, that are called:
private void clearApplicationData() {
File cache = cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext().getCacheDir();
File appDir = new File(cache.getParent());
Log.d(TAG, "AppDir = " + appDir);
if (appDir.exists()) {
String[] children = appDir.list();
for (String s : children) {
if (!s.equals("lib")) {
Log.d(TAG, "Delete " + s);
deleteDir(new File(appDir, s));
}
}
}
}
private void rebootDevice(){
Context mContext = cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext();
PowerManager pManager = (PowerManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
pManager.reboot(null);
}
