Android Question How to clear application data for another app?

[JohnC]

If I know the package name of another app on the device, how can I programmically clear the application data of that other app?

Note: I did find this, but I don't know how to convert it to B4A:

((ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE)).clearApplicationUserData();

clear the application data of that other app?

Another app? I wouldn't want another app to clear my app's data.
I don't think Android allows this (I could be wrong).

Check this:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager#clearApplicationUserData()

Permits an application to erase its own data from disk.

Ah, I see that that command will only work for the data in my own app.

I found another way to do it using ADB "pm clear package.name"

So maybe I will try to use Phone.Shell to do it for another app.
