Home Button Double Tap

[aaronk]

Hi,

This isn't really a B4A thing but more of a Android question so that's why I posted it in this forum and not the questions forum..

Someone asked me, on iOS you can Double Tap the home button to see all the running apps and you can close them or even re-open the app, but how can you close all running Android apps on the device without going into the app list and force closing the app.

Or doesn't it matter with Android and it doesn't have such feature ?

Depends on the device and the version of android. On 4.0+ you can tap the double pane icon to see recent apps, or long press the home key on most devices. then you can fling the apps out that you want removed from memory.

A task killer is about the only way to get apps that you haven't run yourself though. Android will kill apps that are paused if it needs more resources, so it does have its own house cleaning.
