What is Activity.finish() method doing exactly?

Question

I\'m developing android applications for a while, and followed a lot of posts about activity life cycle, and application\'s life cycle.

I know Activity.finish

Answer 1

Finish() method will destroy the current activity. You can use this method in cases when you dont want this activity to load again and again when the user presses back button. Basically it clears the activity from the.current stack.
