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);
