Android Question Closing an App

[elitevenkat]

I had tried

Activity.Finish

i tried this code by Erel but the app remains open. Any other method to close the app complete ?

public  Sub CloseAll
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeContext
    jo.RunMethod("finishAffinity",Null)
  
End Sub

Multiple activities and 2 services are being run,

Thanks for the reply. I think I have not put my question clearly.

Actually I want to close my own runnkng app having multiple activitirs and 2 services and not any other running app. The app seems to be getting closed but remains in the back ground. It does not go away from the device memory.

The link you had reffeted seems to explain about closing another running app.

Add this to the manifest.

SetActivityAttribute(Main, "android:excludeFromRecents", "true")

For Android 5+ (SDK 21+)

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

It's stange. The attached sample works in emulators and on my phone (Oreo 8.1)
Probably, you use another releases than I. I use B4A 8.00, JavaObject 2.05.

According https://developer.android.com/refer...ityManager.AppTask.html#finishAndRemoveTask(), finishAndRemoveTask is alive up to now.
