继续学习Android，我读了以下内容:
Question: Does the user have a choice to kill the application
unless we put a menu option in to kill it? If no such option exists,
how does the user terminate the application?
Answer: (Romain Guy): The user doesn't, the system handles this automatically. That's what the activity lifecycle (especially onPause/onStop/onDestroy) is for. No matter what you do, do not put a "quit" or "exit" application button. It is useless with Android's application model. This is also contrary to how core applications work.
呵呵，我在Android世界里每走一步都会遇到一些问题=(
显然，你不能在Android中退出应用程序(但Android系统可以随时完全销毁你的应用程序)。这是怎么回事?我开始认为这是不可能写一个应用程序的功能作为“正常的应用程序”-用户可以退出应用程序时，他/她决定这么做。这不应该依靠操作系统来完成。
我正在尝试创建的应用程序不是Android市场的应用程序。它不是一个被大众“广泛使用”的应用程序，它是一个将在非常狭窄的商业领域使用的商业应用程序。
我其实很期待为Android平台开发，因为它解决了Windows Mobile和。net中存在的许多问题。然而，上周对我来说有点令人失望……我希望我不必放弃Android，但它现在看起来不太好=(
有办法让我真的退出应用程序吗?
博客文章“何时在Android应用程序中包含退出按钮”(提示:永远不要)解释得比我好得多。我希望每个Android开发者都读过这本书。
摘录:
In my experience what [the users] really want is:
An unambiguous way to guarantee that an app will stop consuming resources (battery, CPU cycles, data transfer, etc.).
Many users perceive that an exit button implements this requirement
and ask for it to be added. Developers, looking to please their users,
obligingly add one. Shortly thereafter they both fail.
In most cases the exit button simply calls Activity.finish(). This is exactly equivalent to hitting the back button.
Exactly. Services keep running and polling keeps happening. Users may think they've killed the app but they haven't, and soon
they'll be even more annoyed.
Exit behavior is now ambiguous. Should your exit button just close the Activity, or should it also stop all associated Services, Receivers, and Alarms? What should Back do? What happens if they hit Home instead? What happens if your app has a widget? Should the exit button stop that from updating too?
The solution is to make the back button behave as you'd expect the
exit button to. Better yet, simply stop consuming resources whenever
the app isn't visible.

我认为关键是没有必要退出应用程序，除非你的软件有问题。Android会在用户不使用该应用且设备需要更多内存时退出该应用。如果你有一个需要在后台运行服务的应用程序，你可能需要一种方法来关闭服务。
For example, Google Listen continues to play podcast when the app is not visible. But there is always the pause button to turn the podcast off when the user is done with it. If I remember correctly, Listen, even puts a shortcut in the notification bar so you can always get to the pause button quickly. Another example is an app like a twitter app for instance which constantly polls a service on the internet. These types of apps should really allow the user to choose how often to poll the server, or whether even to poll in a background thread.
如果你需要在退出时运行的代码，你可以根据需要重写onPause()， onStop()或onDestroy()。
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle
在Intent中使用FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP标志关闭应用程序，然后system.exit();
或者有类似的方法，但是没有system.exit()当你想退出时调用这个方法:
public void exit() {
startActivity(new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class).
setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | IntentCompat.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK).putExtra(EXIT_FLAG, true));
}
在你的HomeActivity.onCreate()中添加以下代码
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra(EXIT_FLAG, false)) {
if ((getIntent().getFlags() & Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY) == 0) {
finish();
}
}
......................
这将在不破坏Android生命周期的情况下工作。
