How do I exit an app?

[jrhodes973]

I cannot figure out to exit an app without backing out using the "back" button. For instance, if I am using the Dolphin browser and view a series of webpages, then want to exit, I must repeatedly use the back button until I am out. There must be an easier way but I have not found it.

I was hoping there would be an exit [X] button like Windows has but I don't see one.

Please help! Thanks.

Have you tried the home button?

On the dolphin browser you can hold the back button down and then it will ask if you want to exit.

Fortunately for you, this.isnt windows and you dont need to exit apps android handles them on its own. No need to exit apps just hit the home button.

Yes, hold the back button down and the exit box will pop up.

I find that my xoom really slows down when I have been opening apps for awhile. I usually have to reboot after a couple of hours to speed the system up.

I got the Fast Reboot app to take care of that. Kills everything open without actually rebooting the system.

Doesn't it use CPU time for the background apps, thereby slowing the Xoom and using more battery?

Thanks for the back button long press solution from several of you. Does that work for other apps too? I'll have to try it.
