I am working on a simple project which is responsible to launch and quit another installed application (let's call it "abc") on the tablet. The other application ("abc") is already installed in tablet. I can launch it using Intent. But need to find a way to quit it as well.
Here is the template of my mainActivity.java file.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final LinearLayout parent = findViewById(R.id.parent);
Button launchApp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
Button quitApp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
launchApp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.abc");
if (launchIntent != null) {
startActivity(launchIntent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There is no package available in android", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
quitApp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Add code to close the installed app on tablet ("com.abc")
}
});
}
}
This is also my activitymanifest.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<queries>
<package android:name="com.abc"/>
</queries>
</manifest>
I have tried the suggestions in the following threads, but none of them worked for me:
- Followed the suggestion of this thread, but when I tried to list all running applications, it only reported the running application (the one through which i want to close the other application)
