Question

When does the current Activity finish? When we start a new Activity using the startActivity() method followed by the finish() method on the current Activity?

Does it finish as soon as the new Activity starts or when the new Activity is finished?

This is your typical Activity life cycle.

Follow the diagram, and pay attention to the "New Activity is started" flow.
