How to exit an Android app programmatically?

Question

I am sure this question has been asked number of times because I read a few. My client wants me to put a button into his app where users can click and exit. I have read this

Accually there are two possible situations:

1. You may want to exit from the activity
2. Or you want to exit from the application

You can exit from the activity using following code:

var intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionMain);
intent.AddCategory(Intent.CategoryHome);
intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

But this will not kill the underlying activities in the same application. This will just minimize the application.

If you want to exit from application use the following code to end its process:

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); 

for mono development just use

process.KillProcess(Process.MyPid());
