Android finish Activity and start another one

Question

I'm curious about one thing. How can I finish my current activity and start another one.

Example :

MainActivity     --(starts)--> LoginActivity         --(if success, starts)--> SyncActivity             --(if success start)--> MainActivity (with updated data). 

So I want when SyncActivity starts MainActivity after succesfull sync and if I press back button not to return to SyncActivity or any other activity opened before SynActivity.

I've tried with this code :

Intent intent = new Intent(Synchronization.this, MainActivity.class); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY); startActivity(intent); this.finish(); 

but it's not working properly. Any ideas how to get the things to work properly?

Answer 1

Use

Intent intent = new Intent(SyncActivity.this, MainActivity.class); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); startActivity(intent);
