system.exit()

Wee question, using system.exit() to quit for Android (I make little things for my partner) and this leaves an app running that needs to be 'killed'. Not a biggie but wondered if there was a cleaner way to exit. Using export to APK

This is probably a limitation of the chromium/electron runtime environment that JavaScript code cannot close the main application window. The same in browsers - otherwise it would be like in IE where you could even shake the window, close it, and everyone hated it.

init = function()
  system.javascript("""window.close()""")
end

This code closes the Firefox( windows ) browser window/tab when the browser window/tab was created by javascript code. Maybe it will work on android!!!

Worth a try so thanks =^^=

Ah need to get more up to speed on using javascript within, as it were, but no biggie. The html and windows version is fine on exit and its for a fun jam anyway. I think my partner is more annoyed at me for making noises to add at this point. Long suffering tester that they are =^^=
