Close application and launch home screen on Android

Question

I have two different activities. The first launches the second one. In the second activity, I call System.exit(0) in order to force the application to close, bu

Answer 1

This is what I did to close the application: In my application I have a base activity class, I added a static flag called "applicationShutDown". When I need to close the application I set it to true.

In the base activity onCreate and onResume after calling the super calls I test this flag. If the "applicationShutDown" is true I call finish on the current Activity.

This worked for me:

protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if(BaseActivity.shutDownApp)
    {
        finish();
        return;

    }}
