Answer 1

I didn't do any of this. This is how I would revise your code.

the code you use to enter another intent:

Intent whatEverIntentName = new Intent("Path.to.next.Intent");
startActivity(whatEverIntentName);
finish();

This way, you always quit when pressing back. But wait! You can change how you want your back key press to react when pressed.

Do this:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    Intent whatEverIntentName = new Intent("Path.to.the.activity.before.it");
    startActivity(whatEverIntentName);
// Don't add finish here. 
//This is necessary because you finished your last activity with finish();
}
