Unable to clear App Data with ADB Espresso












0















Unable to clear App Data with the following method, i am using rooted device, API 19.



public static void clearAppData() {

try {
Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(su.getOutputStream());

outputStream.writeBytes(pm clear com.xxx.xxx.xxx);
outputStream.flush();

outputStream.writeBytes("exitn");
outputStream.flush();
su.wait(2000);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Set Time", e.getMessage());
}
}


I am calling the above method in my test, but it fails to clear Cache. I have done same thing for changing the device time, and it works



Calling the above method in the following test:



@Test
public void a_test() {


CommonUtil.clearAppData();

CommonUtil.changetime();

CommonUtil.pausetime(5000);

}

          This worked with the following solution, skipped adb command and created the following method



          public static void clearSharedPrefs(Context context) {
          SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = context.
          getSharedPreferences(KEY_SP_PACKAGE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
          // sharedPreferences.edit().remove("KEY").commit(); //Remove Key
          SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
          editor.clear();
          editor.commit();
          }
