ABOUT: Ice Cream Sandwich Multitasking

---

I've seen many people say that the ICS multitasking feature where you can swipe to close the app, just removes it from the multitasking list but does not kill it / close it.

I have tested it using logcat and it DOES in fact kill it, here's a picture of logcat after swiping off the browser app

And also I tried going to cached/running services, and then opening the multitasking bar and closing an app that appears there, and it does disappear from there.

Nice discovery man!

Oh wow, thanks for the info!

Awesome never knew this,
Thanks

Nice! Thanks!

Yes I know this too in first 5 mins I understand.

Open an app, press home button and minimize, Long press and swipe. Go to launcher and launch shortcut. Tadaaaaaaaa.

Hmmm didnt know about this.

Good to know this for certain! This will be much easier than going into the app tray or settings menu to force close an app.

People are going to get so OCD about closing things now that they'll spend half their time in that menu!
