Can't end my android application

Question

I'm currently getting into android development. I try to let the user end the application by a menu button. This is my attempt:

@Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { int id = item.getItemId(); if (id == R.id.action_exit) { android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); super.onDestroy(); } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); }

The application window closes, but when I switch to the "open applications window" it is still there. How can I end/kill/close/shutdown my application completely?

Using finish() instead of super.onDestroy() ends your activity. The window you call open applications is the recents window: the last used applications that may or may not be running. — nhaarman

You should think about closing your app twice, since it is not the way Android apps usually work. Instead of this you should use the code as follow:

@Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { int id = item.getItemId(); if (id == R.id.action_exit) { finish() } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); }

If you really want to exit your application manually, please check out the accepted answer from the following post: How to close Android application?
