How to use navigator.app.exitApp() to exit application in phone gap?

Question

I have an application built using sencha-touch & phonegap but I don't know how to add exit/stop function to exit the application. After looking arround in google and other sites I got clue to use navigator.app.exitApp() but it didn't work.

How can I solve this?

Note : I'm using - phonegap 1.3 - sencha touch 1.1 - Galaxy tab

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Please try following code, it is working fine in my app:

document.addEventListener("exitButton",function(){ 

    navigator.notification.confirm(
           'Do you want to quit', 
           onConfirmQuit, 
           'QUIT TITLE', 
           'OK,Cancel'  
    );

}, true);

function onConfirmQuit(button){
   if(button == "1"){
     navigator.app.exitApp(); 
   }
}

Put something like this in the HTML file:

<a href="#" onClick="closeMeNow();" data-role="button">Close App</a>

That links to a function like this in your JS file:

function closeMeNow() {
    navigator.app.exitApp();
}

I know the syntax is more JQM than Sencha, but since the concept is basically the same you can just edit where is needed.
