Android :: Kill An Application With All It's Activities?
Jun 23, 2010
I want to offer the user an option to exit the application as I need to delete some sensitive data, which is stored in the SharesPreferences as long as the application needs it.
As soon as the user wants to exit, the password in the SharedPreferences should be wiped and of course all activities of the application should be closed (it makes no sense to run them without the known password - they would crash).
How can I do that?
System.exit(0) and finish() only exit the current activity - useless. I know there is a taskmanager app. How is that one doing it? It's able to kill the whole application ...

I started a sample application and called finish() method when user clicks the button. Then it is showing the android home screen and called the on Destroy() method also. But if i am executing the 'ps' command in android shell still it is showing the dip of my application. What is the meaning of finish()? Is it not terminate the process? if not how can i terminate the process(we can do kill -9 pid in android shell but i want programmatic approach).

I haven't manage all errors on my application anymore. So I would like to know if it is possible to Kill the entire app when it crashes? (when the message "app MyApp crash, force close" appear, I would like the application to be killed when user clicks on "force close")

I'm having troubles with users that report that if they leave the application opened and after a few hours when they return to it the app crashes. I'm pretty sure it is because I'm not storing/restoring the status correctly when my process is killed by the system, but I would like to be able to test it in a repeatable way. Which is the best way to simulate the same behavior that happens when Android kills my process on low memory conditions?

After searching, I was unable to find any post that deals with my particular problem, and I don't know if it's a problem or something I have to deal with. On my LG Eve (unlocked, not yet rooted), when I run Task killer, I notice that there are two items in the list that look like configuration files (window with a gear in front of it):
com.tni.Task killer:Captain Obviously, the first one is linked to Task killer and if I kill the configuration file, it kills the Task killer process. When I try to kill beware.com, though, it does nothing. The file remains in the list and is also visible in the Task killer widget. (Speaking of the widget, when I kill Task killer, the icon for the 2 configuration files usually remain, even if I auto kill everything.) Doing a little searching on the tubes, I found that beware.com are the developer for Quick Settings. I don't think I downloaded that app yet, but I might have and subsequently deleted it. Is it possible that the configuration file remains after I un install an app? If so, how do I remove that con fig file?

It seems that what's draining my battery the most is my poor signal at work. I killed mobile data today while at my desk and despite the battery having just turned orange, it didn't turn red for nearly 5 more hours. So, I'd like an app that will kill the data connection at a certain time. Ti terrific and Setting Profiles Lite don't have the option to just kill data, only an airplane mode option.

I have the startup auditor and Task Panel apps. I want to try and setup the phone to always have as much memory available as possible. Most of them are pretty obvious but there are a few I'm not sure of. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of services/processes/etc. that we can safely kill off and/or set for auto-kill/disable at startup? Edit: One I was curious about is Google Partner Setup. I have killed it off without any issues through Task Panel. But would having it on the auto-kill list be OK?

Situation: Second day of owning X8. So I'm downloading some Apps and one of them took forever, the download arrow was showing activity all through the night. (I was on WiFi) This morning, I pull down the Activity bar and see that the phone thinks the Download is still continuing. I couldn't see anyway to force quit other than turning off the phone. So, how does one Kill an Activity, Application, or Process in this Android system?

I seem to be missing something obvious here, why would I want more than one activity per application in Android? Does somebody have some solid examples?

I created an app with one activity, and it works just fine. Having though more about the app, I decided to add another activity which be the welcome screen of the app, with a nice logo and some buttons. This app should direct the user to the activity I mentioned before. The only trouble is - I can't find out where and how can I determine which activity should launch first, the moment the app loads. Do I need to create the entire app from scratch, but this time programing the home activity first?

Need help closing/accessing my views in a simple app (included an img of my program layout) but I might have been too confusing. Basically, I have an app that has a main menu where the user can click a button to open a camera. The user then snaps a photo and it is displayed on a page. The user will then click another button that detects faces. If faces are detected, the user is sent to a final page that shows the cropped face, etc. I give the user the ability to return to the main menu or snap a new photo.
Let's say a new photo is snapped and the user does it a few more times. Now I have multiple saved instances of old snapped photos (presented on the layout). How do I kill the previous instance (the layout from before he decided to snap a new photo)? So when I try to close the app it doesn't go back to the previous instance (displayed layout of said snapped photo). I am so confused on this one thing.

I think that it should be possible to get all the activities from 'third-party' application, described in the manifest file. I can't figure out how.
for example: List<Activity> aList = packManager.getActivitiesForPackage("package.name");

I have an application with many forms implemented as separate activities. The form variables are dynamically built based on a database, and there are a ton of variables in the C++ side of the application (accessed via JNI). I don't see how saving out all of this data to persistent storage each time the onPause() or the onSaveInstanceState() of one of these many activities goes into the background is a smart use of processor time. And I don't see how even if I save the local variables for each activity during that time I'd be able to restore a single activity within the context of all the others.
I have set up a service that auto saves the files when I detect that the app has gone into the background. (I set a time stamp when onPause() is called in any activity and then clear the time stamp when onResume() is called on any other activity. If the time elapsed is more than a few seconds, I know I'm not the top activity any longer and the service saves the files).
What I'd like to do is continue on as normal unless the OS kills one of my activities. Since we don't always get notified of this, I thought it would be nice if there were a way to tell the OS that I'd rather you kill the whole app than just one activity.

Can someone tell me how to close all activities running under a tab?My initial activity does not need a tabbed view. Therefore, to initiate a tab for the next (remaining) activities, I call a class that extends TabActivity, from the first tab.All this class does is to assign and call activities based on the tab click.Currently, to close all activities i am using StartActivityforResult.But in this case, while calling activites from the TabHost, setContent does not accept a result code as a parameter.Help me to solve this one. My application is stranded in a blank screen before closing. i.e. in the TabActivity class.

I want to have an options menu that is available to all Activities in my app (on pressing the MENU button). I've been doing this by creating it in onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) for each Activity but this seems redundant. Is there a way to create it in one place and have it available in all Activities?

I have run into an requirement of my application that i cant find a way to do this.
I need my application to be fullscreen and no title bar (done), and this application will have a background image. However, all the activities/views of my application must be transparent/translucent so the application background will be visible all the time behind the information i am displaying.
Basically i would like to have this behavior
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amazon-kindle-android-app.jpg
supousing that the image you see is not the phone wallpaper, but the application background image. What would be the application configuration in the manifest file and what would be the configuration for eacy activity/view?
I also noticed that, i need to setup each activity to be fullscreen without title bar. Is there a way to do this globaly in the application so all activities will behave this way?

I have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?

I created an application which consists of several activities. If I start a subactivity named DlgTitleTags from main activity everything goes well.
Another case is when I start a subactivity DlgLibrary and then from DlgLibrary DlgTitleTags the execution fails on line:
CODE:..................
In the first example this line executes without errors so I'm wondering what could be wrong here.
This is the copy from log:

I am designing an app that will have some activities separated in tabs. Some of them will have to perform tasks in the background will the user is in another tab. What is the best strategy for designing an app like this? I was thinking about using a service but it can be killed by android dalvik, isnt it?
