Android: Go back to previous activity

Question

I want to do something simple on android app. How is it possible to go back to a previous activity.

What code do I need to go back to previous activity

Answer 1

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
      int id = item.getItemId();

      if ( id == android.R.id.home ) {
          finish();
          return true;
      }

      return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }

Try this it works both on toolbar back button as hardware back button.
