Process Killer

Livefront

About this app

Process Killer is a tool developed by Livefront for developers and QA teams to facilitate testing saved state issues. Going beyond the standard "Don't Keep Activities" form of testing, Process Killer allows you to actually test how well apps restore their state after the system kills their host process. Applications with recent activity are displayed in a list; clicking on any of those items kills their host process (if they are currently running) in the same way the system would when reclaiming memory. The app can then be restarted from the link in the Snackbar or navigated to via the home screen or recent list of apps.

This is an open-source project found at https://github.com/livefront/process-killer-android. Code contributions are always welcome.
