Question

I have tried multiple commands to close the app from App switcher but didn't through it. I even don't know if there is ány adb command which is persist to close the app from the app switcher. I more Googled for the same and even went through Android but no luck. Does anyone know about this, how to tackle? Kindly suggest our valuable inputs. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally, I got the answer when I tried combining multiple commands:

1. Open the app switcher

   adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH
   

2. Select or navigate to the next app in the app switcher

   adb shell input keyevent 20
   ...
   

   (run the above command again for each app down the list)

3. Remove the app from open app list

   adb shell input keyevent DEL
   

And you are done :-) the app gone out of your open apps list.

Answer 3

Thanks to @rilwan for the answer, below command worked for me: First enter into adb shell then execute:

$ adb shell
$ input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH && input swipe 522 1647 522 90

or execute at once

$ adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH && input swipe 522 1647 522 90
