Testing a transition between two activities and going back to the first activity

I am developing an app that requires the user to press a button and it goes to another activity. The problem is that I cannot continue from there. I want to be able to simulate a button press and go back to the previous activity it was on. Here is my code.
package com.example.guy.smsclassproject;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.test.UiThreadTest;
import android.test.suitebuilder.annotation.SmallTest;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class DraftsActivityTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<DraftsActivity> {
private DraftsActivity tester;
private EditText searchText;
private Button searchButton;
private DraftsDatabase draftsDatabase;
private MessageObject messageObject1;
private MessageObject messageObject2;
private MessageObject messageObject3;
Button[] draftButtons;
ArrayList<MessageObject> messagesToBeDisplayed;
public DraftsActivityTest() {
super(DraftsActivity.class);
}
#Override
#UiThreadTest
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
if (Looper.myLooper() == null)
{
Looper.prepare();
}
draftsDatabase = new DraftsDatabase();
draftsDatabase.clearData();
messageObject1 = new MessageObject("hi", "5554",null, true);
messageObject2 = new MessageObject("hi hi", "5555554",null, true);
messageObject3 = new MessageObject("sup", "5435555554",null, true);
draftsDatabase.addMessage(messageObject1);
draftsDatabase.addMessage(messageObject2);
draftsDatabase.addMessage(messageObject3);
tester = getActivity();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
searchText = (EditText) tester.findViewById(R.id.searchText);
searchButton = (Button) tester.findViewById(R.id.searchButton);
}
#SmallTest
#UiThreadTest
public void testSearch() {
searchText.setText("hij");
searchButton.performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("Messages with the word hi", 0, messagesToBeDisplayed.size());
searchText.setText("sup");
searchButton.performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("Messages with the word sup", 1, messagesToBeDisplayed.size());
searchText.setText("yo");
searchButton.performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("Messages with the word yo", 0, messagesToBeDisplayed.size());
searchText.setText("i");
searchButton.performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("Messages with the word i", 2, messagesToBeDisplayed.size());
}
#SmallTest
#UiThreadTest
public void testRedisplay()
{
assertNotNull(tester.draftButtons[0]);
tester.draftButtons[0].performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("Size of the list after deletion is 2", 2, messagesToBeDisplayed.size()); //presses the first button, which deletes it from the drafts
getActivity();
String buttonText0 = tester.draftButtons[0].getText().toString();
if(buttonText0.equals("5555554: hi hi")) assertSame("Text redisplayed on the first button", buttonText0, messageObject2.toString()); //gets the text of the current button, since the messageobject1 was in draftsButtons0 before, not it should have messageobject2
assertNotNull(tester.draftButtons[1]);
String buttonText1 = tester.draftButtons[1].getText().toString();
if(buttonText1.equals("5435555554: sup"))
assertSame("Text redisplayed on the second button", buttonText1, messageObject3.toString());
}
#SmallTest
#UiThreadTest
public void testMessageButtons()
{
assertNotNull(tester.draftButtons[0]);
tester.draftButtons[0].performClick();
//THE PROBLEM IS LOCATED HERE.
//As soon as I press the button, the app goes to another activity.
//I want it to go back from the activity.
assertNotNull(tester.draftButtons[1]);
tester.draftButtons[1].performClick();
messagesToBeDisplayed = tester.messagesToBeDisplayed;
assertEquals("The draftsDatabase now only contains 1 message", 1, messagesToBeDisplayed.size());
assertNotNull(tester.draftButtons[0]);
tester.draftButtons[0].performClick();
assertNull(draftsDatabase); //after you press all the buttons, the draftsDatabase should be empty because all the messages have been deleted
}
}

This is my code of application which I recently made. If user press a button it goes to another activity from this you will be to simulate a button press and go back to the previous activity and I also have made some modification that you can pass data from text view to second activity

How do you fully setup an edittext into a ScrollView?

Before I go into detail about the problem I have been having, I am quite new to android development so let me just explain what I would like to achieve and what I have tried to do.
I am creating an android app in eclipse IDE using the android 4.0 operating system and what I would like to create in this app is a windowed scrollview which contains various different widgets such as check boxes, text views and edit texts. These edit texts are required so that the user can input some data about an image that is displayed in an image view on the app page but is not inside the scroll view. The user would then press a button and that data would then be stored somewhere (i know what I want to do with that) and a new image would appear, then the process repeats.
Now in order to create a windowed scrollview, I understand that you need to define the widgets inside a scrollview and to be able to scroll down to them properly is by defining them inside a linear layout and then messing around with the margin top values in each widget in the activity xml file.
However, once i created these widgets tried testing, this is where I am running into some issues.
Firstly, if a widget is placed in between the header and footer ( the region displayed on the app page and used as part of the windowed scrollview) and i try and test out the scrolling, the scrolling works but it creates a random duplicate of that widget which I cannot get rid of e.g http://community.dur.ac.uk/cs.seg05/androidapp/exhibit_A.JPG (I can't display the image to you directly as i am not a high enough rank to display an image on StackOverflow)
In an attempt to try and fix this issue, I decided that I would move everything below the footer of the scrollview and then just scroll up from there and this seemed to have worked.
Unfortunately, when trying to test out inputs into my edit texts, I ran to another annoying problems.
As soon as I finish typing into an edit text and click the next button on the soft keyboard, the app directed me to another edit text which I had not defined and displayed another soft keyboard and this in turn created a duplicate of every widget (including that edit text) that was currently displayed inside the scrollview window. (i had scrolled up in order to get to this edit text) eg
https://community.dur.ac.uk/cs.seg05/androidapp/test.JPG
I then looked on questions such as Scrolling EditText on ScrollView programmatically , How to prevent auto scrolling of EditText when keyboard appears on Android? , Enable Scrolling within EditText that is in a ScrollView
but none of these are really helping me.
I have also tried using AutoTextCompleteView widgets as the widgets that the user woudl use as inputs but I do not fully understand how they work and I have not been able to get any data from them as when i type something into them, the program is returning that nothing has been typed.
I would really appreciate some help on this as I don't know if I am missing something, or if I have not set the widgets up correctly or if I have not set the scrollview correctly so if any of you have any solutions to these problems, please post them (code or a step by step would be very helpful).
Here is my java code in my activity (note that this a second activity that is launched once the first activity is completed).

Seems you're having NullPointerException.
On the field declaration
TextView Clue = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Clue);
EditText edittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
Move the assignments to in onCreate()
public class Level_1 extends Activity
{
// Other members ....
TextView Clue = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Clue);
EditText edittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_level_1);
// Assignemnts should be here

int level = settings.getInt("level", 1);

new to android development- cant start a new activity [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.
Closed 10 years ago.
First- sorry if my question a bit dumb, I'm totally new to Android development ...
I'm trying to start a new activity from my "LAUNCHER" activity and run it on the emulator, but every time I click on the "Next" button (which should start my second activity), I get an error msg saying: "unfortunately, Omis hang man free has stopped", and then closes the app...
also, when I re-launch the same app in the emulator without re-installing it from Eclipse, it doesn't even showing me the first screen...
I don't even know where my problem lies, so I attached 5 codes:

I'm not looking for code improvements (I am only learning the language), so please do not send me suggestions to improve the code (I know there are a lot!) --- I just want this code to work.

The problem may be in the Intent. Try this:
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);

Please Remove finish(); from onPause() Method from OpenActivity and remove gvGrid.addView(tt); from GameActivity because gridview is not container layout and write below code
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);
instead of
Intent gameIntent = new Intent("com.omi.hangmanfree.GAMEACTIVITY");
startActivity(gameIntent);
it will solve your problem.

please replace in openActivity
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);

Try changing here:
Intent gameIntent = new Intent("com.omi.hangmanfree.GAMEACTIVITY");
startActivity(gameIntent);
to
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);

ProgressDialog in Tabbar android

I am trying to make a tab bar application in android, after searching in google i found some tutorial and i succeeded. I want 3 tabs, when i click on 1st tab some data will be taken from server using asyntask and show the progressdialog in frontend, but the progressdialog is capturing the whole screen(with tabbar) and because of that i can't be able to switch the 2nd or 3rd tab.
Expected Output: Whenever i click on any tab a data will be taken from server in background, as i know data is loaded in background so for that time i want to switch 2nd tab or any other tab.

Just Put Progressbar for the child Activitys you are adding in TabHost .
First it will show progress bar of first activity in onCreate which you set as current activity and if you click on next tab it will show its progress dialog

if i get you correctly, you need to access the below activity components when the progress dialog is active.
for this you need to make non-modal/modeless progress dialog. non-modal dialogs will allow you to accept events by behind ui components
please refer the post below
timed modeless dialog
