How to exit screen pinning – Android 5 (emulator)

Screen Pinning ( as mentioned on this page ) is a new feature introduced in Android 5 (Lollipop) that allows users to temporarily lock an activity to the screen. When screen pinning is activated, all other notifications are hidden.

You can take the following steps to activate screen pinning

Users can enable screen pinning in Settings > Security > Screen Pinning, and select the tasks they want to pin by touching the green pin icon in the recents screen

To exit screen pinning, users can do the following

the user can exit by holding both the Back and Recent buttons

What I want to ask is

Is there any way to exit from Screen Pinning on Android Emulator for 5.0?, as we won’t be able to press both Back and Recent buttons at same time with mouse?

Thank you.

Solution

You can unpin using the adb command: adb shell am task lock stop
