How to close activity and go back to previous activity in android

Question

I have a main activity, that when I click on a button, starts a new activity, i used the following code to do so:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SettingsAc         


        

Answer 1

it may be possible you are calling finish(); in the click button event so the main activity is closed just after you clicking the button and when you are coming back from next activity the application is exit because main activity is already closed and there is no active activity.
