How to press the back button using an intent in android?

Question

I know to pass an intent to goto the home screen using this code:

Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
            startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
            startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(startMain);

But I want to press the back button using an intent in android.

Answer 1

You need to override back pressed somewhere in your activity @Override public void onBackPressed() { //Do whatever custom stuff you wish here super.onBackPressed(); }

Then you may call backPressed in whatever way you may wish and wherever you may wish:

MyActivity.this.onBackPressed();
