can't stop my app

Question

I have an app with one activity that I can't seem to stop. I have a button on it that executes finish(). Whether I use that or I use the back button on the phone the app continues to run.

I see it's still running by tapping on it in Applications and the Force Stop button is enabled.

What might be causing this? Thanks, Gary

Try this code to stop your activity/app instead of finish(),

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

Suicide (Option 1)

Call finish(); on button click
Add this line to onDestroy method:

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
    }

Suicide (Option 2)

Call this in the button listener

System.exit (0);

oops, the killprocess also killed my service which I wanted to keep running! – Dean Blakely Jan 29 '13 at 22:44
@user1058647 'cause the service and the activity run in a single process. – Dheeraj Bhaskar Jan 30 '13 at 10:37
