I want a button click to close an Activity. I am new to intents and and a little confused.
This is ActivityOne
which keeps a track of life cycle.
On a button press, it opens ActivityTwo
and puts ActivityOne
in background.
This works fine when I used this intent in my onClickListener
:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(ActivityOne.this, ActivityTwo.class);
ActivityOne.this.startActivity(myIntent);
In ActivityTwo
I need to use intents and finish()
method to close the activity. I tried to Google it and I thought this might work:
Intent myIntent2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityTwo.class);
ActivityTwo.this.finish(myIntent2);
It didn't work the full code is below:
public class ActivityOne extends Activity {
// ...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_one);
// ...
Button launchActivityTwoButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLaunchActivityTwo);
launchActivityTwoButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO:
// Launch Activity Two
// Hint: use Context's startActivity() method
// Create an intent stating which Activity you would like to start
Intent myIntent = new Intent(ActivityOne.this, ActivityTwo.class);
// Launch the Activity using the intent
ActivityOne.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
// ...
}
}
Activity 2:
public class ActivityTwo extends Activity {
// ...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_two);
// ...
Button closeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bClose);
closeButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO:
// This function closes Activity Two
// Hint: use Context's finish() method
Intent myIntent2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityTwo.class);
ActivityTwo.this.finish(myIntent2);
}
});
// ...
}
}
