Question

I have a Main Activity, then a ListActivity to select an item to show, and then a third activity to show selected item. When user push back button, I want him to go back to main activity, not the listActivity.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

There are a few ways to do this. Probably the simplest is to call

finish();

in the ListActivity immediately after you call startActivity to start the third activity.

This will achieve what you want with no overriding of the back button required.
