Finish all previous activities from other activity

Question

any one can help me with my task I have one actvitiy where i open in new Intent new activity , and than in this new activiyt i open again new intent (previsios activities not close, so i can return to them when click back button on device). I want write "exit button" and start new activity , i can close only one previsios activity, but pre-previsios is still open. in ideal its like - MainActivity - > SettingsActivity - > LogoutActivity(here we must back to loginActivity) i was tried

 mIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

but no luck with it :(

use `finish()` method for removing the activity from stack and also update your question with good explanation and code snippet. — Onkar Nene, Jul 08 '16 at 13:43

Intent i = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
           Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK |
           Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Try this:

     Intent intent=new Intent(currentActivity.this,TargetActivity.class);
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
