Answer 2

I think it will close your activity and all Sub activity related to it.

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

        int id = item.getItemId();]
        if (id == R.id.Exit) {
            this.finishAffinity();
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

Simply write the following code in onBackPressed:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    // super.onBackPressed();

    //Creating an alert dialog to logout
    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Do you want to Exit?");
    alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("Yes",
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
                    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });

    alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("No",
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {

                }
            });

    //Showing the alert dialog
    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
    alertDialog.show();
}

Use of finishAffinity() may be an good option if you want to close all Activity of the app. As per the Android Docs-

Finish this activity as well as all activities immediately below it in the current task that have the same affinity.
