Programmatically shutdown of NanoPi M2

Hi,

I got the SerialPortDemo running on Android 5.1.1 and so I was able to
acquire privileged access to some parts of the hardware through
friendlyarm-hardware library.

But now I need to programmatically shutdown and/or reboot the device. This
requires su (root) access. In some other threads was a hint that Kingroot
could be used to acquire root access but this doesn't seem to work with
NanoPi M2 and the current Android 5.1.1 build. I also tried several other
on-click root tools but without success.

I do not really understand why FriendlyARM does not provide an Android with
root access (like some other development platforms). But if this is strict
strategy, I could live with it, when I could at least get the option to
shutdown / reboot the device through friendlyarm-hardware lib.

Are you using your own compiled Android system? You want to
programmatically shutdown device from SerialPortDemo app or another app?

I want to shut down from a self developed app that is using the
friendlyarm-hardware library for serial communication based on the
SerialPortDemo.

Just if someone needs it as well:

App must be signed using the firmware key (like with the SerialPortDemo).
In Manifest you must request android.permission.SHUTDOWN.

In your code, you add:

            Intent intent = new
Intent("android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN");
            intent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.KEY_CONFIRM", false);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(intent);
