Qt on Android : How to shutdown the device or simulate the press of Power button

nologinma

I'd like to build a small application that reboot the device or better put in PowerOff my device.

I saw that there are in qt the specific class and the I have call a JNI java class.

I have assign the right permissiom to my app following:

@<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REBOOT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DEVICE_POWER"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE"/>@

and the call in qt c++ to my JNI class is the following:

@QAndroidJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("org/qtproject/example/PowerOff/Next72Utility", "powerOff", "()V");@

and external java class is the following:

@//
// Next72Utility.java
//
package org.qtproject.example.PowerOff;

import android.content.Context;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams;
import android.os.PowerManager;

public class Next72Utility extends org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity
{

public static Next72Utility m_istance;

public Next72Utility()
{
m_istance = this;
}

public static void powerOff()
{
if (m_istance != null)
{
System.out.println("I'm here");
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) m_istance.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
System.out.println("pm = " + pm);
pm.reboot(null);

}

The program is compiled without error and the output (console) is the following (no errors):

but the device is until running......
Do you have a solution for this problem ?

I have read several article and I understand that

to shutdown the device you have to ROOT permission
you can put in sleep mode without ROOT permission but not in shutdown.

Observation

I have a SAMSUNG NOTE 10.1 (tablet) and when I press the power button for 1 second the device go to sleep.

If I press the power button for 3 seconds I have a dialog screen that it propose if I turn off the device or not.

Then I want to simulate the second case (button for 3 second the power button).

@void keyPressPowerButton()
{
QKeyEvent event(QEvent::KeyPress, Qt::Key_PowerOff, Qt::NoModifier);
QApplication::sendEvent(mainWindow, &event);
}@

But It go in sleep mode not it in shutdown mode (with dialog screen that it propose if I turn off the device or not)

How can I simulate the Qt::Key_PowerOff for 3 seconds ?
