Yes, but Android will terminate this automatically isn't it?

You are basing your entire post on the fallacious assumption that it
is only "non-technical people" who download the task killers. I am
very technical, and I downloaded one. Nor am I alone.
Nor is it that "people ar very bad at shifting". Rather, the recent
trend in the mobile OS industry (

Most of what you say is true, but beside the point. Task killers per
se do not "interfere with the platform's functionality".
Now yes, some users do have the strong desire you allude to, but that
is far from proof that the desire for Task Killers IS an example of
this effect. I do not bel
I think the user is not always the problem and if it is... we've got a
problem because we can hardly make people change their behave, what we can
do is build better apps that don't take resources they don't need. That's a
developers fault and that's the one developers should focus.
If we keep thin
While I agree with most of the replies, there is one issue that makes task
killers useful. Some apps run background tasks or they don't properly terminate
threads when they should. These apps will drain ur battery and for this reason
alone I use them.

If it wasn't for a task killer my phone wouldn't last a day mine

You don't need task killers. Some people like them, and who I am I to argue
with what people like? ;)

One question, not sure whether it is related.
Since Android manage task and application automatically and terminate
if necessary why do we need application like Advance Task Killer?
Isn't it redundant? I understand why Android was design this way, to
help speed up application and extra memory if no
Yeah this is exactly what I thought too. Just because non-technical
people download task killers from the market doesn't mean that task
killers are necessary. In my opinion it is way more likely that the
explanation is that people are just very bad at shifting their way of
thinking from paradigm to

Google should worry more about the crap-ware vendors are putting on my phone.

Technical details aside, I think it's just human nature.
Some percentage of users just have a strong desire to have something
"magical" that *supposedly* makes their device (Android phone or desktop
OS) work much better.
Remember - there used to be all kinds of memory optimizers for Windows?
A good article. A little harsh on the OP, but even so, a good article.
After all: given that that IS the design of Android, that Applications
should not quit, but leave termination up to the OS, the article makes
its case well, even elegantly.
But I cannot help but notice: after Android did all t
Your question is missing some information.
You can always kill your main activity that is possible.
But you dont have any other control on other activities if those
activities are binded to intent filter.
Because each activities runs in their own process ..but there is a
hack for this..if you can
