Finish Theme.Transluscent.NoTitleBar?

Question

I have an android activity with Theme=Theme.Transluscent.NoTitleBar.

I want to use finish this kind of activity using finish() but it doesnt work. As it is an invisible activity it goes to onPause State rather than onDestroy state.

How can I overcome this problem as it uses unnecessary memory.

Thank YOU !!

Answer 1

There are many threads which explain this. When you are calling finish(), Android will let your code in the specific block after the finish() call execute, and that is why the Toast message appears. A simple return statement after the finish() call is the solution. Taken from answer on question:

Answer 2

you can use System.exit(0); but as stated it is not a good approach. but however you can use this approach to clear the previous activity intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); .
