I want to check to see if an activity is running or finished. Is there any method through which I can check the status of activity?
I found activity.isFinishing()
but I am not sure about it.

If you want to perform any step before Activity
is going to become invisible.
Their are several choices here.
onDestroy() - for final cleanup.
isFinishing() - right after act.finish()
is called it will return true.
onStop() - when the Activity
is killed by framework process. (not destroyed)
onPause() - when the Activity
is covered by any other Activity
onBackPressed() - capturing the event of hardware Back key triggered by user.
Call isFinishing in the onPause method before the activity is destroyed:
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (isFinishing()) {
// Here you can be sure the Activity will be destroyed eventually
}
}
