[android-developers] Re: How to exit application
System.exit(0) is not recommended because it messes up when a user brings the app back after a short pause. Horrible things can happen to what you've got in memory. Its not a clean or consistent memory wipe IMO. I think you have to work with the idea that activities are held in memory for a time in the case of a return by the user to the app. It is sometimes hard to deal with, but in my experience, I simply have to go with it. I end up using onStop() and onStart() sometimes. And it can get complicated. Sorry if this is not the answer you wanted to hear as I expect you want a complete close of the app and all its memory contents. There might be a way of doing that but I don't know it and System.exit(0 is too unpredictable to use AFAIK.

Very simple. If you are sure you are done, You could just kill yourself using android.os.process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); It's the same as linux shell command kill.

[android-developers] Re: How to exit application
Its not always so simple to use android.os.process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); to close your app. 1) You cannot detect when the home button has been pressed so when to call killProcess? If you are lucky calling it in onStop() somehow may work but that can get very difficult if you have many activities. 2) Some processes are not stopped by it. I could not use it when service threads and other non-ui threads were spun up - didn't stop them. Threads 'in progress' at the time can bring app back to life after killProcess() called.

Intent e=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); e.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME); e.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); this.finish(); startActivity(e); with regards, Nagu. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
