App not finishing if using menu to move to different page

[Shay]

Hi

I have pages, (using menu) I can click on other menus such as settings, help, exit,
when I go from main to settings, and click exit, it will go back to menu and not finish the app

any idea how to bypass this?

Exit App

You don't list your code so I don't know how you are trying to exit. You could set a process_global variable in the settings when you choose exit. When you return to the Main Activity check the state of the variable, if it's set to end the program then issue Activity.Finish.

Consider using Activity.Finish in each activity in your app. If that doesn't work for your app, you can use the keyword ExitApplication, although it isn't recommended. You can read about it here Basic4android - Core

I used the activity finish
(also both commands - did not help)
when I use the finish it finishes current module and going back to main module, or the module it was before

I don't know then. The only assistance I can think to offer is to look over Erel's two activity sample. It is here http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/6611-two-activities-example.html

Hope this helps

it is working if, I am using both:
Activity.Finish
ExitApplication

and since I am using menu buttons, also activity.finish before moving modules

 

[Erel]

There is no need to call ExitApplication. Instead you should call Activity.Finish before starting a new activity.

I did that, and this still keeps the app in active apps
can see that still consuming cpu and ram

only both commands are releasing it correctly

Android doesn't kill processes immediately. See this tutorial for more information: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...87-android-process-activities-life-cycle.html
