android task kill

Question

I want to kill all tasks that run in android like task killer... What I have done until now is:

ActivityManager manager =  (ActivityManager) this.getSystemSe         


        

Answer 1

You're using 0 (zero) instead of i inside your loop.

for (int i = 0; i < activityes.size(); i++){

    Log.e("APP: "+i, activityes.get(i).processName);

    if (!activityes.get(i).processName.equals("app.android.myapp")){
        Process.killProcess(activityes.get(i).pid);
    }

}

Cheers

Answer 2

You can kill the current process on back pressed using the following code:

public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    int pid = android.os.Process.myPid();
    android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);

Answer 3

You do not have the rights to kill other processes; hence, killProcess() does not work for your app.

Answer 4

You can try this to kill your task or app:

ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) ctx
                .getSystemService(ctx.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
am.killBackgroundProcesses(packageName);

this works for 2.2 and up.

Answer 5

1- Add to manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES"/>

2 - In your code

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("adb shell killall com.example.app");

note that your app need to have access to adb shell (system app)
