The issue is that the answer is not as simple as you might expect. You can close an Activity with finish() and finishActivity(), finishActivityFromChild(), and finishFromChild(). These are documented in the reference section of the Developer Guide. However, the Android architecture assumes that there's no need to terminate an application or its process. You don't need to worry about returning memory to the system. Android will do that for you if the app is idle and the memory is needed. An idle process doesn't consume CPU time. If there's another reason that you want the process completely killed, you can post it here so that others can suggest options. It may be that you want to give back a resource such as connectivity, and for that you don't need a full "kill". In short, there may be an Android way of doing what you want to do without using finish(). To answer the question without knowing the context would do you a disservice, by steering you in the wrong direction.
