Android: Clear the back stack
31 answers
I start from activity A->B->C->D->E ..when i go from D->E there should be no activity in stack but, the user can use back button from D and go to C (without refreshing Activity C, like normal back function)
You could add a BroadcastReceiver
in all activities you want to close (A, B, C, D):
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private FinishReceiver finishReceiver;
private static final String ACTION_FINISH =
"com.mypackage.MyActivity.ACTION_FINISH";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
finishReceiver= new FinishReceiver();
registerReceiver(finishReceiver, new IntentFilter(ACTION_FINISH));
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(finishReceiver);
}
private final class FinishReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_FINISH))
finish();
}
}
}
... and close them by calling ...
sendBroadcast(new Intent(ACTION_FINISH));
... in activity E. Check this nice example too.
Add flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to your intent to clear your other Activities form Back stack when you are starting your E Activity like :
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
then start your Activity :
startActivity(intent)
More Information on : Task and BackStack
Add flags to your itent it will clear all activities in a stack
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
this is the right wat to clear back activities already in a stack
Hope this helps..
