Not with plain monkey. You have to write your own java code and wrap it to use it with Monkey.

try {
    Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
                    .exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" });
    proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

uhm... next should be difficult to include this somewhere ;-)

is it difficult to do this ?

Why not just use 'Execute' ? from brl.process.

Someone have an exemple with this on android target ?

Thanks !

You will need to extern your command in MonkeyX.

Something like this:

Android code: hub.java

class hub {
  static void reboot() {
    try {
      Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" });
      proc.waitFor();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Monkey code

Import "hub.java"

Extern
  Function Reboot:Void() = "hub.reboot"

Many thanks Therevills.

Do you think that is possible to use this method to provide an simple extern DialogBox ? as Blitzmax 'Notify' ? i'm searching how to set this from here :

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#AlertDialog

So i could display an error message inside a Dialogbox just with an Ok button. (Today i use a log file !).

Perhaps just a toast ?

import android.widget.Toast;

class hub 
{
  static void msgbox() 
  {
    try 
    {
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "this is my message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } 
    catch (Exception ex) 
    {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

I'm not a java coder, someone could help me to undestand what's wrong ? Is it possible with monkey ?

Have a look in the Diddy source, there is already the AlertDialog extern in there (under showAlertDialog):

https://code.google.com/p/diddy/source/browse/src/diddy/native/diddy.android.java

i'm trying to test with your java showAlertDialog. Compilation is now ok. But finaly my appli stop and i can display the message. So perhaps my android system have a bug with this !

- If you use plain monkey code like this : Error "Your message here". Do you have the 'Your message here' displayed on android device ? (On my system the appli stop and not display the "Your message here" but "Unfortunately (your app) has stopped (translated from french).

Could you compile for android an apk file just with ShowAlertDialog in action and send me to hubert.bayre(at)wanadoo.fr so i can test that it's not a problem with my android system.

many thanks Therevills.

Hmmmm.... looks like the internals of Monkey has changed (again!).

Can you try this APK:
http://www.therevillsgames.com/code/monkey/MonkeyGame-debug.apk

Here is the code behind it:
hub.monkey

Strict

#ANDROID_APP_LABEL="Hub Test"
#ANDROID_APP_PACKAGE="com.hub.test"
#ANDROID_VERSION_CODE="1"
#ANDROID_VERSION_NAME="1.00"
#ANDROID_SCREEN_ORIENTATION="landscape"

Import "hub.java"
Import mojo

Const SCREEN_WIDTH:Float = 640
Const SCREEN_HEIGHT:Float = 480

Function Main:Int()
	New Game()
	Return 0
End

Class Game Extends App

	Method OnCreate:Int()	
		SetUpdateRate(60)
		Return 0
	End
	
	Method OnUpdate:Int()
		If TouchX() < DeviceWidth() / 2
			If TouchHit()
				ShowAlertDialog("This is the Title", "You touch the screen at: X = " + TouchX() + ", Y = " + TouchY())
			End
		Else
			If TouchHit()
				ShowToast("This is a toast message, X = " + TouchX() + ", Y = " + TouchY());
			End
		End
		Return 0
	End
	
	Method OnRender:Int()
		Cls()
		PushMatrix
		
			Scale(DeviceWidth() / SCREEN_WIDTH, DeviceHeight() / SCREEN_HEIGHT)
		
			DrawLine(SCREEN_WIDTH / 2, 0, SCREEN_WIDTH / 2, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
			DrawText("Touch the screen here to create an Alert!", SCREEN_WIDTH / 4, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2, 0.5, 0.5)
			DrawText("Touch the screen here to create a Toast!", SCREEN_WIDTH - SCREEN_WIDTH / 4, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2, 0.5, 0.5)
		
		PopMatrix
		
		Return 0
	End
End

Extern
	Function ShowAlertDialog:Void(title:String, message:String) = "hub.showAlertDialog"
	Function ShowToast:Void(message:String) = "hub.showToast"

hub.java

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.widget.Toast;

class hub {
	public static AlertDialog.Builder alert;

	static void showAlertDialog(String title, String message)
	{
		alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(BBAndroidGame._androidGame._activity);
		alert.setTitle(title);
		alert.setMessage(message);
		alert.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
			public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
			}
		});
	
		BBAndroidGame._androidGame._activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				alert.show();
			}
		});
	}
	
	static void showToast(String message) {
		final String mess = message;
		BBAndroidGame._androidGame._activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				Toast.makeText(BBAndroidGame._androidGame._activity, mess, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
			}
		});
	}
}
