Answer 1

Just run the below two lines when you want to exit from the application

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
System.exit(1);

Answer 2

You can call System.exit(); to get out of all the acivities.

    submit=(Button)findViewById(R.id.submit);

            submit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View arg0) {
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
                    System.exit(1);

                }
            });

Answer 3

this will clear Task(stack of activities) and begin new Task

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
System.exit(1);

Answer 4

in the fragment

getActivity().finishAndRemoveTask();

in the Activity

finishAndRemoveTask();

Answer 5

Actually every one is looking for closing the application on an onclick event, wherever may be activity....

So guys friends try this code. Put this code on the onclick event

Intent homeIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    homeIntent.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_HOME );
    homeIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);  
    startActivity(homeIntent);
