Stop the process on Android using Ruboto

Question

Is it possible to Stop the process on Android using the script running in Ruboto's IRB, i.e. automate: "Application manager" > "Running" > [Select process] > Press "Stop"?

Answer 1

A process can stop itself by executing

java.lang.System.runFinalizersOnExit(true)
java.lang.System.exit(0)

You can stop another process with

Process.KillProcess(int pid)

You will need the KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES permission:
