When does android activity finish starts

Question

When we call activity.finish() will the next android life cycle method be executed?

1) Lets say user clicks on a button
onUserInteraction() we have called activity.finish()
will the action dispatched to the onClicked listener of the button?

2) lets say onStart() we have called activity.finish()
will activity.OnResume() be called?
