ANDROID: Simple Up Navigation Not Working

Question

Up Navigation in Android is not working. All I want it to do is go back. However everytime I click the back button it closes the app. I followed android developer. My error log doesnt even say anthing useful so I have no idea why this is happening. My first main view is a google maps activity, and my second view is a blank activity with a listview on top of it.

Here is my error log

    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }

Here is my manifest

 <activity
        android:name=".SilentGeofence"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_silent_geofence"
        android:parentActivityName=".AddressList" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value=".AddressList" />

    </activity>

@joao2fast4u yes. but it keeps closing the app I hav tried NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this); but that doesnt work either. — anu, Mar 14 '15 at 18:53
Yes my main view is a mapsactivity. Then I press a button and it goes into list activity (AddressList). I want the user to be able to go back to the MapsActivity from AddressList. @KrishnaTejaVelagapudi — anu, Mar 14 '15 at 18:57
If its a parent activity the up button will take you to the map activity with out you doing anything as far as I know — krishna, Mar 14 '15 at 19:00
I agree. It should take you up to the parentActvity, however every time I press the back button the app closes. It doesn't crash but it closes and i have no idea why @KrishnaTejaVelagapudi — anu, Mar 14 '15 at 19:02
ok when you are going from map activity to list activity with an intent are you finishing the map activity like startActivity(listIntent); then finish(); — krishna, Mar 14 '15 at 19:06
Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2); button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v ) { Intent intent = new Intent(MapsActivity.this, AddressList.class); startActivity(intent); finish(); } }); } @KrishnaTejaVelagapudi — anu, Mar 14 '15 at 19:07

    Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2); button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v ) { Intent intent = new Intent(MapsActivity.this, AddressList.class); startActivity(intent);} }); }

remove finish and it will work

when you say finish(); android won't save the activity in backstack – krishna Mar 14 '15 at 19:11
Its how finish() works. If you don't want your activity in backstack you use finsih(); after starting another activity with intent otherwise you don't say finish() – krishna Mar 14 '15 at 19:14

If you just want to click the Action bar home button and go back, replace your code in your case android.R.id.home: by this:

super.onBackPressed();
break;

This will recreate the back button press.

didn't work. What should you recommend I do? I've tried every solution. I think I should just quit upNavigation and make my own backbutton @joao2fast4u – anu Mar 14 '15 at 19:06
