Answer 1

Read Following:

public void finish ()

Call this when your activity is done and should be closed. The ActivityResult is propagated back to whoever launched you via onActivityResult().

public void finishActivity (int requestCode)

Force finish another activity that you had previously started with startActivityForResult(Intent, int).
