Pseudocode :
The initial Activity starts. (ActivityStartScreen)
A button is pressed that starts a new Activity (ActivityOtherScreen) by using an Intent.
The new Activity has a button that loads the initial Activity.
My question is, is the original activity gone once it ‘loses focus’ (when the 1st button is pressed), or is it stored somewhere, and is there a way to retrieve it?
Currently, Im re-creating the original activity with an intent. I bet this isnt the proper way.
The previous Activities are stored in the Activity stack, to return to previous activity, just call
finish()on current activity. Note that this way you lose the 2nd activity.
