Destroy All Previous Activities After Specific Activity is Open [duplicate]

Question

This is the scenario

Activity A -> Activity B -> Activity C -> Activity D (I would like to destroy Activity A, B, and C after Activity D is launched.

Any ideas please?

Answer 1

Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityC.this, ActivityD.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

If set, this activity will become the start of a new task on this history stack. A task (from the activity that started it to the next task activity) defines an atomic group of activities that the user can move to. Tasks can be moved to the foreground and background; all of the activities inside of a particular task always remain in the same order. See Tasks and Back Stack for more information about tasks.

This flag is generally used by activities that want to present a "launcher" style behavior: they give the user a list of separate things that can be done, which otherwise run completely independently of the activity launching them.

When using this flag, if a task is already running for the activity you are now starting, then a new activity will not be started; instead, the current task will simply be brought to the front of the screen with the state it was last in. See FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK for a flag to disable this behavior.

This flag can not be used when the caller is requesting a result from the activity being launched.

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK

If set in an Intent passed to Context.startActivity(), this flag will cause any existing task that would be associated with the activity to be cleared before the activity is started. That is, the activity becomes the new root of an otherwise empty task, and any old activities are finished. This can only be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.
