I have an application built in html5 and wrapped in phoneGap, by pressing the exit button the following function occurs:

function close_window() {
    if (confirm("Exit?")) {
        navigator.app.exitApp();
    }
}

It does not work..

On clicking the button the function close_window() occurs, 'but navigator.app.exitApp();' line not works.

I think it's because there is no child named app for navigator.. (I tested it in console)

Are there other ways to close an application?

    which phonegap version do you use ? – Zakaria Dec 03 '12 at 11:40

    had the same problem even with the newest version available... at the end, I've abandoned the idea, as Android/iPhone users do not close their apps and the behaviour is considered a non-standard and thus not very recommended for app devs – Zathrus Writer Dec 03 '12 at 11:44

    There are many applications with exit button .. Even if users on Android \ iPhone does not close the application, there is a possibility ... – Hodaya Shalom Dec 03 '12 at 11:47

    Which newest version? if it's the one from github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-android (which most code links still point to and is the top result in google), it is no longer the latest version and contains a bug in the app plugin. The actual latest code is at http://github.com/apache/cordova-android – Tom Clarkson Dec 03 '12 at 12:16
  • What do you see in "adb logcat" when you click your exit button? – Simon MacDonald Dec 03 '12 at 16:49

Please be aware that exitApp function works only on android devices. Which version of phonegap do you use?

Finally the problem was solved ..

Exit application works by the function write-up question.

I have no idea what I changed that it works, but it works!!

Thanks for the help ..
