In my Application, activity A is launcher activity, from A it called B and from B it called C, I have such more than 5 activities. In C when I press home button, and again o
on pressing home ,u have not finished activity it still exists in stack.only it goes to pause so use this.
if you are calling activity B from an activity A.and C from B
A->B
use startactivityforresult from A
and again B->C
use startactivityforresult from B
and when you want to exit from C then setResult(i.e. RESULT_OK) and finish C.and in OnActivityResult() in B,check if resultcode == RESULT_OK then again finish B and setresult(RESULT_OK) for A.same procedure will follow to finish A.
this will exit you from the application.and application will start from A not from C.
