Question

how can i kill a process after every second.i want to set a timer which will check every second if the process is been started and keep killing that particular process by its package name

Answer 1

void appKiller() {
String nameOfProcess = "location";
ActivityManager  manager = (ActivityManager)this.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> listOfProcesses =  manager.getRunningAppProcesses();
for (ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo process : listOfProcesses)
{
    if (process.processName.contains(nameOfProcess))
{
    // Ends the app
    manager.killBackgroundProcesses(process.processName);
    break;
}}

//Using timer call to appKiller as below.

timer = new Timer("killTimer");
timer.schedule(oTimer, 1000 * 1l,   1000 * 1l );
private TimerTask oTimer = new TimerTask() {
    private void doWork() {
        try {
            appKiller();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
            @Override
    public void run() {

        doWork();
    }
};
