R rworner Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 24, 2013 #1 I am trying to programmatically reboot an Android mini pc. I am using the device to display dynamic webpages using webviews. Every now and then the system gets out of sync. I end up having to unplug and then replug the device to get it to recover. I want to set the device up to reboot once a day. Other discussions involved root access on phones. That is not an issue here. Thanks

I tried: Dim OS As OperatingSystem OS.Initialize("OS") OS.reboot(Null) And got an error message - "Neither user 10108 nor current process has android.permission.REBOOT" So I added this line to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REBOOT"/> when I reran it I got the same message.
