I am trying to finish my previous activity but I don't know how to do that. I search about and how to do finishActivity() but I'm getting error. I also tried this method:

private void Finishactivity(Activity activity)
        {

                    activity.Finish();
        }

and call the method like Finishactivity(the-activity-I-want-to-close); but still getting error. How can I figure this out? I'm a beginner in C#.

You can try to finish the current activity after starting the another activity.

FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.button).Click += (s, e) =>
        {
            StartActivity(typeof(SecondActivity)); // This will launch another activity.
            Finish(); // This will finish  the current activity after SecondActivity launch 
        };

The error is thrown because your are trying to close an activity that is not currently active or it may be removed from memory.
