How do I fully close a PhoneGap Android app? I've tried using device.exitApp() as well as navigator.app.exitApp() and have the same problem with both.
The problem is that I have an html file, index.html, that links to an external html file, main.html. Now if I hit the close button without going to the external file, the app closes just fine. If I go to the external file and then go back to index then hit close, it closes index but brings up main. How do I completely close the app whether or not I go the external page?
Index.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/phonegap-1.0.0.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="index.html">Index</a>
</body>
</html>
Main.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/phonegap-1.0.0.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="index.html">Index</a>
</body>
</html>
Android Manifest
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".TestActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.phonegap.DroidGap"
android:label="@string/app_name" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
</application>

This was how PhoneGap Android worked with PhoneGap 1.0.0.
This behaviour has changed to more like what you are expecting in PhoneGap 1.1.0. Try upgrading.

"Now when you are dealing with multiple page apps there is a change to navigator.app.exitApp(). This command now exits the app completely it does not return to the previous page. If you want to go back a page you should use navigator.app.backHistory()."
