    <p>I've read a lot of documentation and other posts about closing other apps. I know the documentation says Android isn't designed that way. Android wants to hibernate an app as opposed to killing the process. That makes sense but.... I wrote an app that automatically launches other apps based on system events that the user configures. Users love it and want to close/kill those apps after subsequent system events. What I am trying to say is that users are asking me to automate this for them. That is the point of my app. It automatically launches other apps and now they want to automatically close or kill them. A lot of people say that this is not possible but it is. There are several task killer apps out there and they do the very thing I would like to do. I tried the </p> <pre><code>Process.killProcess(pid); </code></pre> <p>but that doesn't seem to do much. Reading the doco on that method it says the Linux Kernal will still enforce permissions. I even attempted to kill all processes and it didn't do anything. Perhaps I am not getting the list of processes correctly. I use the following to get a list of processes to kill</p> <pre><code>for(RunningAppProcessInfo info:activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses()){ </code></pre> <p>Then I use Process.killProcess(info.pid); to kill the process. I even tried:</p> <pre><code>activityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(String.valueOf(info.pid)); activityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(String.valueOf(info.processName)); </code></pre> <p>and then </p> <pre><code>Intent i = new Intent(); i.setComponent(new ComponentName(ProcessName, ProcessName+".Main")); context.stopService(i); </code></pre> <p>Can anyone actually answer this question and not tell me it shouldn't be done or ask why I want to do it in the first place? Please provide a code sample or something meaningful.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
