This may seem like an odd question, and I apologize for that. I am currently debugging an application and I am having trouble getting new Android_ID's to stick without rebooting.
To be specific these are the new app specific android ID's introduced in 8.0. The location for these ID's are in the following file: /data/system/users/0/settings_ssaid.xml
I am able to change the app specific ID just fine but it doesn't actually change unless I reboot the device.
Is there a certain service or process that I can force-restart to make the new ID to take effect? Or possibly some type of cache that needs cleared?
I am mainly using adb shell commands. So far the best method is to run the following command:
adb shell setprop ctl.restart zygote
This does a 'soft' reboot, so it's much faster but unfortunately it completely kills my shell script that is debugging as well and it's a pain to keep restarting everything.
Is there a way to see what services or processes are being restarted when restarting 'zygote'?
Much appreciate the help in advance.
