Android Question Trying to terminate the program

[seskindell]

Using this suggested routine:

Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeContext
jo.RunMethod("finishAffinity", Null)

It closes the window however my app is still running in the background.

Any suggestions?

This doesn't work either .. App is still running in the background:

Activity.Finish

Please read the "Activity life cycle" thread (in the forum) and the related chapter in @klaus booklets.

The OS itself will terminate (definitively) your app when he needs to (ie running in the background for too long and need to free resources for foreground apps).

Since 21 .. this will do the job and take the program immediately out of the task bar:

Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeContext
jo.RunMethod("finishAndRemoveTask", Null)

Should be very serious reasons to terminate the program.
Take a phone and try to find, at least, one pre-installed program, which terminates itself.

If you want to "hide" itself, use moveToBack, which works since API 1 (if I do not make a mistake).
