Is there a way to write code to go to the previous activity?

Question

Right now in my android app a user presses a button to go to another activity, and then must press the back button on android to return to the previous activity. Can I have a button on my app and write code to go to the previous activity?

Answer 1

As the easiest way, you code write a code where your current activity is closed on a particular event, say on a button press. the method to be called is finish()

This way, when your current activity is finished, you are taken back to your previous activity.

Answer 2

Yes Ofcourse. : See the vogella article
