How to shutdown an Android mobile programmatically?

Question

Is it possible to shutdown the mobile programmatically. that is with out using su commands..

Answer 1

This is the code i use to perform any system command.

void shutdown_sys()
{
    Process chperm;
    try {
        chperm=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
          DataOutputStream os = 
              new DataOutputStream(chperm.getOutputStream());

              os.writeBytes("shutdown\n");
              os.flush();

              chperm.waitFor();

    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Call this function from your android App. It will work if su is functional in your system. Let me know in case it does not work. I dont have an Android base ready to test. But the same works for reboot. So shutdown is also a linux shell command which ithink will be there in Android as well.. All the best
