How do I programatically exit my app?

I start to learn programming using Monkey C for my Epix. I created a template app with the picture of the monkey and 2 menu items "Item 1" and "Item 2"

Now I would like to add a third menu item "Exit" so that when I tap on it, the app will terminate and exit.

Which method I should call to terminate the app?

I tried the method System.exit() but it doesn't work.

Can someone shed me a light?

Thank you

You can not exit a widget with the popView or exit() call.

I wanna exit an activity recording app. But some users told me it would consume battery continously. So I wonder if I need to release some resourses manually like session = null.

Unless your app has a background service, nothing should be left running or using battery in your app itself.

What you may want to look at is if sensors/GPS is left running when your app exits. For example, if GPS is left on after your app exits, that will consume a whole bunch of battery.

I've not ever seen this myself, but even if your app doesn't enable GPS, maybe the FW itself is doing that, and then not shutting down GPS when you end.

Is this being reported on a specific device/firmware version? Is it all f7's /variants for example? Only APAC devices? It sounds like a FW bug to me.

Fr245 8.3 and many other devices

See if you can reproduce it as a working sample Garmin can use to reproduce the problem. 9.60 production FW is being sent out to world-wide devices, while APAC FW may lag behind by a month or more.
