I know this question has been answered in another posts also. But it doesn't solve my issue.
I have 3 screens: A,B and Home. App starts with A, then goes to B and then to Home page. But I want to delete activities A and B when it reaches Home activity, so that when back is pressed app exits.
I tried:
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. It works fine when back is pressed. App quits. But if I again open the app from background, it starts with screen B.
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. This works exactly as I want. But when Home activity starts, there is a sudden glitch in the screen and it is not smooth.
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Home.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
This will clear all the activities on top of home.
Try the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(YourActivity.this, HomeActivity.class);
i2.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
finish();
startActivity(i);
You can do this way also, for your splashScreen(A) you can set nohistory=true in AndroidMenifest.xml, and goto Activity(B), and when you are going on Activity Home from Activity(B) finish activity(B) than goto Home activity.
so both of your previous activities will not store in stack.
And on Activity B override onBackPresh() method but remove super.backpresh() in side it. and start your activity A with finish this current activity, it will work.

I have 3 activities with sequence A->B->C.
A is the Login Activity.
B is the Welcome Activity
Now When I start the app, I'm at Screen B, because I was logged in.
Now when I press back it takes me to Screen A, that I dont't want.I want to close my app after back press but with condition When I press logged out on Screen B, then I should be at Screen A.How to resolve this?
You can do this many ways . one simple solution is .
Finish activity A when moving to B , So now you press Back button on B the app will close.
startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, A.class));
finish();
On Logout launch the activity A.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, A.class);
// Flag are optional if you have multiple activities in stack
//intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
I'm using this library which is a Wizard.
When user is done with the Wizard and clicks Done button he moves to another Activity.
I have added to Manifest file android:noHistory="true" for the WizardActivity and also when I start the next activity im doing it like this :
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ProjectsActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
Nevertheless when user click backs he still goes to the WizardActivity. I'd like the user either to exit or go the activity that started the WizardActivity.
Thank you
finish() the activity after launching the other Activity. i.e after startActivity(intent) add finish()
I have two activities, A y B. A is the parent activity of B.
A initialise the second one with this code:
Intent intent = new Intent( this, B.class );
startActivity( intent );
this.finish();
and the B goes back to A (like a logout) with this code:
Intent intent = new Intent( B.this, A.class );
intent.setFlags( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP );
startActivity( intent );
Giving you some more context, the app has a sliding menu and each list item shows a ListFragment within a ListView. On each of those views the back stack has been cleaned and the idea is when the user press onto the back button, he should go to the phone home screen as Google documentation says and when the user press on the app icon from the phone home screen, it needs to re-init where the user was working on.
What the app is currently doing is going to the phone home screen, but when you press onto the app icon, it starts again from the activity A, which is the launch and main activity.
Any idea why?
Try adding after startActivity() finish().
That will make the provius activity to safely close itself.
You use this code to go to phone Home screen
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
Override onBackPressed and write the above code. It should work.
According to my understanding, You have 2 activities A & B.
You are starting Activity A & moving to Activity B same timing calling A.this.finish()
It means there is only 1 activity present in your stack which is Activity B.
And when you press "Back" button, it means its closing your app that removing remaining Activity B from stack, so your stack gets empty. So you need to press "Center" button of your device which will keep your app activity B in background (in onStop() state) & when you start your app again so it will open activity B only (by calling onRestart()).
I hope above explanation is highly sufficient to understand above problem.
I have a list of activities A - B -C -D - E and more, for example final activity is K. I want clear all these activities in stack when i press BACK button. How can i do ? In fact, i over ride
onBackPress(){
moveTaskToBack(true);
finish();
}
but only current activity is deleted and application exit. Then, i come back application, it resume activity before K. I want it start from begining when i re-open app. I think the reason here is because the list of activities in stack still are stored, so i want to clear all stack when clicking BACK button. Any suggestions ? thank you very much !
There is method called finishAffinity() for finishing all activity.
public void onBackPressed(){
super.onBackPressed();
this.finishAffinity();}
You need to call your activity with the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP inside your onBackPressed
#Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
Intent it = new Intent(YouCurrentActivity.this, YourFinalActivity.class);
it.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(it);
finish();
}
Hope it Helps!
Either use the noHistory flag in the manifest or finish each activity yourself when the user navigates away.
startActivity(myIntent);
finish();
Another solution, maybe the best, if you have so many overlaying Activities: use only one Activity and handle the content in Fragments. This way you are in control what exactly you want to show when the user hits the back button.
In API level 11 or greater, use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag on Intent to clear all the activity stack.
Add this code on your onBackPressed() method,
> This launch mode can also be used to
good effect in conjunction with
FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK: if used to
start the root activity of a task, it
will bring any currently running
instance of that task to the
foreground, and then clear it to its
root state. This is especially useful,
for example, when launching an
activity from the notification
manager.
So your code to launch B would be:
Intent intent = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish(); // call this to finish the current activity
I need your help, I have 2 activities A and B where A is the main activity.
Now B starts the activities from A using startActivityForResult() and from B when I finish it will go back to activity A.
This works fine but the actual purpose was like the Gmail application when you go back from B to A and then start activity B again from A, then A need to start activity with its last screen as i left it.
For example: from inbox->label->draft in gmail how to achieve this to keep data/layout as it is.
Maybe android:launchMode="singleInstance" on activity A and B will get it done?
How to switch Activity from 2 activities without losing its data and current state of data
Ok I have got solution that when every time start your application that time only activity will be created and view and put in stack so the next time you start again this activity just open from background so the activity will available in stack and just brought to front using start activity
From A to start ActivityB
Intent intent = new Intent(context,ActivityB.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(intent);
Now for start ActivityA from ActivityB
Intent intent = new Intent(getInstance(), ActivityA.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(intent);
It just brought front while activity start and put the current activity into background
