Exit an android app

Question

How to close an android app if more than one activity is in active state?

Answer 1

A blog post entitled Exiting Android Application will show how to exit an Android app:

When the user wishes to exit all open activities, they should press a button which loads the first Activity that runs when your app starts, in my case "LoginActivity".

    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    intent.putExtra("EXIT", true);
    startActivity(intent);

The above code clears all the activities except for LoginActivity. LoginActivity is the first activity that is brought up when the user runs the program. Then put this code inside the LoginActivity's onCreate, to signal when it should self destruct when the 'Exit' message is passed.

    if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("EXIT", false)) {
        finish();
    }

Answer 2

I got an easy solution for this problem

From the activity you press the exit button go to the first activity using the following source code. Please read the documentation for FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP also.

Intent intent = new Intent(ExitConfirmationActivity.this, FirstActivity.class);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            startActivity(intent);

Now overide onResume() of the first activity using finish()
