Android Question Wipe Entire Phone

NJDude said:

You won't be able to do that unless your app has SYSTEM permissions, and even so, a question might pop up asking the user to wipe data yes/no.

If you need to wipe the device you could use the Device Manager.

You could use the Device Administrator Lib, but I believe it will wipe the device if the unlock password has been entered wrong X number of times, a shell command will still need system access.

'wipe data
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = admin
r.Target = r.GetField("dm")
r.RunMethod2("wipeData", 0, "java.lang.int")

Just if anyone wanted to know, I found the code use it with the Device Admin library:

B4X:

'wipe data
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = admin
r.Target = r.GetField("dm")
r.RunMethod2("wipeData", 0, "java.lang.int")
