Button function. How to close an application

Question

I wanted to create an illuminated button which closes my application, firstly(when it was basic not illuminated button) I tried to finish my app using finish(); but now it doesn't work, because when I places it somewhere in code it doesn't work, I don't know why. Maybe this function doesn't work for the all project ??

settings.setImageDrawable(getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.set tings_button)); 
    settings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View button) {
        if (button.isSelected()){
            button.setSelected(false);
        }
        else {
            button.setSelected(true);            

        }       

    }

finish();

     });

I tried with systemexit and finish(); what I should do and where I should place one of the exit commands to finish my app ?

PS. Yes, I`ve read other similar topics but, there problem was much more complicated than mine.

That code above shouldn't compile. So wonder if he copied wrong, or really has this code in his project. — Tim Roes, Jul 28 '12 at 22:00

I think you need to put finish inside the onClick:

settings.setImageDrawable(getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.set tings_button)); 
    settings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View button) {
        if (button.isSelected()){
            button.setSelected(false);
        }
        else {
            button.setSelected(true);            
        }       
        finish();
    }
     });
