Android: Go back to previous activity

Question

I want to do something simple on android app. How is it possible to go back to a previous activity.

What code do I need to go back to previous activity

Answer 1

Just call these method to finish current activity or to go back by onBackPressed

finish();

OR

onBackPressed();

Answer 2

First, thing you need to keep in mind that, if you want to go back to a previous activity. Then don't call finish() method when goes to another activity using Intent.

After that you have two way to back from current activity to previous activity:

Simply call: finish() under button click listener, Or Override the following method to back using system back button:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
}

Answer 3

Got the same problem and

finish();  OR super.onBackPressed();

worked fine for me, both worked same, but no luck with return

Answer 4

Try this is act as you have to press the back button

finish();
super.onBackPressed();

Answer 5

I suggest the NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(), it's easy and very simple, you can learn it from the google developer.Wish I could help you!

Answer 6

Try Activity#finish(). This is more or less what the back button does by default.
