Android Question simulate long press home button to open recent apps

[intera]

Hi guys , thanks for this amazing forum...here it goes my first thread....

according this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14267482/android-programmatically-open-recent-apps-dialog

it is posible with this code:

Class serviceManagerClass = Class.forName("android.os.ServiceManager");
Method getService = serviceManagerClass.getMethod("getService", String.class);
IBinder retbinder = (IBinder) getService.invoke(serviceManagerClass, "statusbar");
Class statusBarClass = Class.forName(retbinder.getInterfaceDescriptor());
Object statusBarObject = statusBarClass.getClasses()[0].getMethod("asInterface", IBinder.class).invoke(null, new Object[] { retbinder });
Method clearAll = statusBarClass.getMethod("toggleRecentApps");
clearAll.setAccessible(true);
clearAll.invoke(statusBarObject);

any reflection guru can translate for a newbie ?
thanks in advanced

You are challenging me

Sub ToggleRecentApps
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.RunStaticMethod("android.os.ServiceManager", "getService", Array As Object("statusbar"), _
     Array As String("java.lang.String"))
   r.Target = r.RunStaticMethod("com.android.internal.statusbar.IStatusBarService$Stub", "asInterface", _
     Array As Object(r.Target), Array As String("android.os.IBinder"))
   r.RunMethod("toggleRecentApps")
End Sub
