How to replicate home button double tap effect on click of a button?

Question

In IOS, when we double tap the home button, it lift's the current app and shows all the app that are running on the bottom. I can scroll the bottom and select the music player option from there. I want to achieve the same screen lift effect, when user taps a button from withing the app instead of double tapping the home button. Is it possible to that? If yes, how can we do it?

Answer 1

No the home button function (unless jailbroken) cannot be re-created inside your UI.

Also since iOS6 users can opt to have Guided Access enabled, if that button where to be created would be considered useless. Now that would be a pain to do in a de-bugging process.

You would have to access the Home Button API (if there was one) as well as the guided access API.
