Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

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.

Process Killer APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Process Killer APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 411de449accfa954bc87a35a664cedc8.
