Hello u can use your System.exit(0);

if u call your next activity onClick //

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), YOURActivity.class);    

startActivity(i);  

System.exit(0);

It just force close your app and reopen called activity..

Not the right way but its working x)

Atleast for me when i had problem with multiple activity with gps location

while starting Activity call startActivityForResult(); and in the same class override method onActivityzResult() and call finish(); inside it.. do the same in all other activities..

Thanks, i cant understand where to put onActivityResult() and finish(). whether to put in same class (while calling activity) or inside the calling class..?? – RAAAAM Jun 16 '11 at 07:17
I have given this, but existing activity is not closed.. I gave startActivityForResult(); in calling class, and onActivityzResult() in both the class inside that i given finish. but nothing is happened.. – RAAAAM Jun 16 '11 at 07:40
then try to kill it using system.exit() in places where u ve put finish() or add "int pid = android.os.Process.myPid(); android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);" in place of finish() like selva said – ngesh Jun 16 '11 at 07:44

You can use startActivityForResult, and then when the activity on the stack finish, sends a integer back to the previous activity, there you can do the same until you finish the 1st activity.

If you want to kill or stop your app, you can try this,

    int pid = android.os.Process.myPid();
    android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);

Another dummy idea is u can create another dummy activity and just add finish method in it.. and in your 3rd activity start this activity with intent as intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);..

I also thought that. But I think shouldnt be right...Better to send the result to the previous activity. But Also I think closing the application from any activity is not the way Android is design. Have a look here
