Hello.
I'm trying to have restartPackage() work - please note that I'm aware
of all the discussions related to APIs for restarting another
application; I'm not trying to do this in production, but during
functional tests in order to be sure to have the application under
test to start clean every time (without it, I'm currently forced to
run one functional test at a time with adb, which is an annoyance). I
know that restartPackage() has been deprecated in 2.2 and now is
equivalent to killBackgroundProcesses(), which is perfectly fine for
me.
This is the code I'm trying (from setUp() of an
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2):
private void resetApplication()
{
logger.info("******** RESTARTING APP");
final Context context = getInstrumentation().getContext(); //
also tried with getTargetContext(), even though I suppose getContext()
is correct
final ActivityManager manager =
(ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
manager.restartPackage("it.tidalwave.bluebill.mobile.android");
}
but I constantly get:

pid=6014, uid=10071 requires android.permission.RESTART_PACKAGES

Of course I put the required permission in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest package="it.tidalwave.bluebill.mobile.android.tests"
android:versionCode="1545"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:versionName="0.14.0-SNAPSHOT">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INJECT_EVENT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RESTART_PACKAGES"/>
<application android:label="blueBill Mobile Functional Tests">
<uses-library android:name="android.test.runner"/>
</application>
<instrumentation
android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
android:targetPackage="it.tidalwave.bluebill.mobile.android"
android:label="Tests for blueBill Mobile for Android."/>
</manifest>
The app with tests is signed with the same signature of the app under
test (the debug key). It happens both with the emulator (1.5 and 2.2)
and a Motorola Droid (2.1). Of course the 2.2 with the variant that
the required permission is android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES.
Why am I still getting the error? Thanks.
