Android remove Activity from back stack

Question

Okay so I\'m kind of stumped on what to do with this. So I have the MainActivity, and from there an Activity can be launched to DegreePlanActivity, and from there another Ac

Answer 1

I would suggest that you use startActivityForResult(), instead of simply startActivity(), when you launch the EditDegreePlan-Activity, as described in the Android tutorials.

In the EditDegreePlan-Activity you then call

setResult(RESULT_OK);
finish();

If you don't expect any data from the EditDegreePlan-Activity, then you don't necessarily have to implement the onActivityResult.

Answer 2

simple solution for API >= 15 to API 23 user activity name in intent.

 Intent nextScreen = new Intent(currentActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
 nextScreen.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | IntentCompat.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
 startActivity(nextScreen);
 ActivityCompat.finishAffinity(currentActivity.this);

Answer 3

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP clears your Activity stack , you can use the code below:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);

Remember that this flag clears just Intermediate Activities , for example if you have A,B,C in your Back Stack then going from C Activity to D with this flag this does not clear Back Stack and the Stack would be A,B,C,D but if you go from Activity D to Activity A with this flag , B,C,D Activities will pop up from the stack and you will have just A in the Back Stack .

Answer 4

Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK); 

startActivity(intent);

Answer 5

You can add flags as follows and start Activity, try below code

Intent i = new Intent(activity, Payment.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
activity.startActivity(i);
