If you are using startActivityForResult to start a activity , then you can use finishActivity() to finish the activity and go back to the previous activity. To give you better understanding , i am adding the following stack overflow link.

Android:Go back to previous activity

Code

public void gobacktoprious()
{
finishActivity();
}

Try this it handles when user clicks back key

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK))
    {
        finish();
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

}
