Android Question Shutdown Intent Error

[Calum Forsyth]

Hello,

We are currently using TomTom bridge devices for an application which will be deployed in trucks. When the ignition is powered down, I want the device to shutdown. As you can see on this link: https://developer.tomtom.com/bridge/develop/suspend-shutdown-hooks the device provides a shutdown intent.

When I try to call the intent ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN as displayed below, I get the error also shown below, even though I have added the permission in the manifest. The device doesn't show the permission under the application, but in the List Permission provided by B4A the permission is listed.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    Dim iintent As Intent
iintent.Initialize("android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN","")
StartActivity(iintent)

Manifest

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.

)

Thank You

requires android.permission.SHUTDOWN

You need to add the needed Permission in the Manifest...

Try to add the following line to your projects Manifesteditor

AddPermission(android.permission.SHUTDOWN)

Try again then....

Hi DonManfred,

The permission is already added in the manifest editor, that's why I can't understand the reason for the error message.

Looks like this is a permission which is only allowed for Systemapps, but not for individual apps.

That would explain it, Thank you for the assistance DonManfred
