   boolean validLogin = validateLogin(username, password, getApplicationContext());

   if(validLogin)
   {

I guess you try to achieve something that look like that :

HomeActivity -> buttonClicked -> LoginActivity -> BackPressed -> HomeActivity -> BackPressed -> Exit your app

In your case, removing the onBackPressed overrided method should do the trick ( Android manage navigation between activities with the back key automaticaly ).
Your loop probably come from the call to startActivity wich add a new activity to the stack rather than destacking. And you probably need to call for super if you override onBackPressed(), not sure thought.
