Android: Quit application when press back button
When you press back and then you finish your current activity(say A), you see a blank activity with your app logo(say B), this simply means that activity B which is shown after finishing A is still in backstack, and also activity A was started from activity B, so in activity, You should start activity A with flags as
Intent launchNextActivity;
launchNextActivity = new Intent(B.class, A.class);
launchNextActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
launchNextActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
launchNextActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
startActivity(launchNextActivity);
Now your activity A is top on stack with no other activities of your application on the backstack.
Now in the activity A where you want to implement onBackPressed to close the app, you may do something like this,
private Boolean exit = false;
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (exit) {
finish(); // finish activity
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Press Back again to Exit.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
exit = true;
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
exit = false;
}
}, 3 * 1000);
}
}
The Handler here handles accidental back presses, it simply shows a Toast
, and if there is another back press within 3 seconds, it closes the application.
Try this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);//***Change Here***
startActivity(intent);
finish();
System.exit(0);
