How to terminate an Android application when debugging in eclipse

Question

When I right-click in the debugging perspective and select Terminate, Eclipse shuts down, but the process continues to work on the device. How can I make the program actually stop working so that there is no more code on the device? Am I looking at a mistake? I do not remember if this works in Galileo. I am currently using Windows 7 and Eclipse Indigo.

Answer 1

The "Stop Process" button is in device mode (window → View View → Devices).

You can complete the process in terms of DDMS.

Am I looking at a mistake?

Not really. Terminating in terms of debugging always meant “terminating the debugging session” for Android applications, at least not “terminating the app” or “stop using the app with extreme prejudice” :-)

Answer 3

I am new to android. I found out that the usual way to stop all previously installed and still running applications (as it was actually planned) on avd is to restart avd with the option "Clear user data". Maria

Press this disconnect button as shown in the figure below.

You can open the debug window from the window → Open Perspective.
