How to do that? Is this good practice on Android platform?

If I rely on the \"ba

Answer 1

Calling the finish() method on an Activity has your desired effect on that current activity.

Answer 2

by calling finish(); in OnClick button or on menu

case R.id.menu_settings:

      finish();
     return true;

Answer 3

@Override
    protected void onPause() {

        super.onPause();

        System.exit(0);

    }

Answer 4

For exiting app ways:

Way 1 :

call finish(); and override onDestroy();. Put the following code in onDestroy():

System.runFinalizersOnExit(true)

or

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

Way 2 :

public void quit() {
    int pid = android.os.Process.myPid();
    android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);
    System.exit(0);
}

Way 3 :

Quit();

protected void Quit() {
    super.finish();
}

Way 4 :

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.putExtra("EXIT", true);
startActivity(intent);

if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("EXIT", false)) {
     finish();
}

Way 5 :

Sometimes calling finish() will only exit the current activity, not the entire application. However, there is a workaround for this. Every time you start an activity, start it using startActivityForResult(). When you want to close the entire app, you can do something like the following:

setResult(RESULT_CLOSE_ALL);
finish();

Then define every activity's onActivityResult(...) callback so when an activity returns with the RESULT_CLOSE_ALL value, it also calls finish():

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    switch(resultCode){
        case RESULT_CLOSE_ALL:{
            setResult(RESULT_CLOSE_ALL);
            finish();
        }
    }
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Answer 5

This is the way I did it:

I just put

Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, SOMECLASSNAME.class);
Main.this.startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

inside of the method that opens an activity, then inside of the method of SOMECLASSNAME that is designed to close the app I put:

setResult(0);
finish();

And I put the following in my Main class:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if(resultCode == 0) {
        finish();
    }
}

Answer 6

public class CloseAppActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
    public static final void closeApp(Activity activity)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(activity, CloseAppActivity.class);
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
                IntentCompat.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
        activity.startActivity(intent);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        finish();
    }
}

and in manifest:

<activity
     android:name=".presenter.activity.CloseAppActivity"
     android:noHistory="true"
     android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"/>

Then you can call CloseAppActivity.closeApp(fromActivity) and application will be closed.
