Help : How to close an app with easer ?

[arrrmo]

Hi ! First of all thanks a lot for this app, it's great !

I managed to create a few simple scripts but i am no expert at all. I am currently trying to create one that would close an app after an event. I have no clue how to do that, could you please help me ? Thanks a lot !

If this is possible at all, I guess you need the "run commands" operation with a "kill" command (if there is one in android). I also guess that you need root to allow one process/app (i.e. Easer) to shoot up another. But maybe there are more cooperative commands to convince an app to close itself.

Hi, thanks for your answer ! I'll try what you suggested, however i don't have root on my phone, let's see if it works without it.

I hope my idea points into the right direction. Would be nice to read here if it works, especially when being successful.

Thanks, @just-Nob ! Yes, I also feel the only way to kill an arbitrary app is to use root permission. I don't know any API to do this; Android runs each app in its own user ID, so (user) Easer can't kill an app run by another user.

Hi ! Sorry for not answering earlier ! I tried the "kill" command you mentioned @just-Nob and several other commands or series of commands i found on different websites and forums, unfortunately none did the trick... I guess using root permission is indeed required :( Anyways thanks a lot both of you and congrats again for the Easer app @renyuneyun ! Cheers
