如果我不发布到Google Play商店，是否可以编写一个应用程序来重新启动没有root权限的android

Question

Title is pretty self explanatory, but for a little more background;

I have an android device sending me data from a remote location that I will not have access to. It appears that the device works most reliably if I reboot it everyday, so I'd like to have a scheduled job that does this task at 4AM everyday.

I have no issues writing an app for this, but as I'm not as familiar with Android, I want to get all the facts I can before diving into the endeavor. I would not be publishing the app to the Google Play store.

• I realize this would be super easy if I had root access but I cannot root the device.
• I see that I can use PowerManager to perform the reboot but it requires REBOOT permission
• I see here that the reboot permission is "Not for use by third-party applications", does that mean I cannot use it, or does it just signify grounds for my app to be booted from the app store?

EDIT: It would be sufficient to turn on/off airplane mode but that also requires root.

Answer 1

As you say, you can't reboot / turn airplane mode without root.

You can't use the REBOOT permission, AFAIK. Google Play doesn't matter here.

Why you can't root the device? What device is?
