Clearing the activity stack without firing intent for new activity

Question

I want to clear the activity stack when the user comes back to the dashboard screen. To achieve only one entry point for all the links I have on the dashboard.

How to clear all the activity stacks programmatically?

I know one option of firing the Intent of dashboard activity with the Intent.CLEAR_TASK and Intent.NEW_TASK flag.

When you call startActivity on the last activity you could always use

Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP

as a flag on that intent.

Read more about the flag here.

Thanks, @snorlax, it worked for me as intended. – Pratik Bhandari Dec 13 '21 at 08:59
