I’m making my first android application, and when I press the back button it

  • 0

I’m making my first android application, and when I press the back button it shuts down the app, instead of going back to the previous activity. Does anyone know how I can fix this??

Thanks

This is my “Hoofdscherm” page, from here you can go to the “Acties” page

package com.WNF;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageButton;

public class Hoofdscherm extends Activity {
// aanroepen van een bundle, kan je elke naam geven die je maar wilt, 
//zolang de bundle als de onCreate maar dezelfde naam hebben
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // de setContentView is niets meer dan de gegevens van de
//View ophalen uit de R.layout.naamvandeXML
        // Onthoud goed dat je dezelfde XMLs voor meerdere pagina's 
//kan gebruiken.
        setContentView(R.layout.hoofdscherm);

        Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        ImageButton i = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);

        b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent in = new Intent(Hoofdscherm.this,Acties.class);
                startActivity(in);
                finish(); //deze activity wordt gestopt
            }
        });

        i.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(View g){
                Intent ib = new Intent(Hoofdscherm.this,Acties.class);
                startActivity(ib);
                finish();
            }
        });


   }
} 

And this is the “Acties” page

package com.WNF;


import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

public class Acties extends Activity{
// aanroepen van een bundle, kan je elke naam geven die je maar wilt, 
//zolang de bundle als de onCreate maar dezelfde naam hebben
@Override  
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // de setContentView is niets meer dan de gegevens van de
//View ophalen uit de R.layout.naamvandeXML
        // Onthoud goed dat je dezelfde XMLs voor meerdere pagina's 
//kan gebruiken.
        setContentView(R.layout.acties1);

        getIntent();
   }
}

    From your Hoofdscherm Activity you call your Acties Activity. And then in Acties you press back and your application closes. Right?

    What is happening is, ideally, from Acties when you press back, it should go to Hoofdscherm, but since you are calling finish(); in your Hoofdscherm Activity, it no longer exists. Hence your application exits.

    If you want to go back to Hoofdscherm from Acties, remove the finish() call in your Hoofdscherm Activity.

    EDIT:

    Here’s a bit more about finish() .
    Remember – only call finish() when you want to close your Activity, if you want to go back to it,don’t call finish().
