Answer 1

Simple code to finish a particular activity from another:

class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity(), NavigationListner {

  class MyClass{
    companion object{
        var activity: Activity? = null
    }
  }

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    MyClass.activity = this@SplashActivity
  }


  override fun navigateFromScreen() {
    val intent = Intent(this,LoginActivity::class.java)
    startActivity(intent)
  }
}

Now call SplashActivity.MyClass.activity?.finish() from another activity to finish above activity.

Answer 2

The error Expecting member declaration is there because you wrote a statement (the function call) inside a class. In that scope, declarations (functions, inner classes) are expected.

You have to place your statements inside functions (and then call those from somewhere) in order for them to be executed.
