Thanks for the reply Ralf. It is just for the sake of convenience that I took only three activities. Ideally I want to be able to jump back from nth activity to (n-m)th activity (m>0, n>m) but atleast if it is possible to jump back to starting activity from nth activity with starting activity's state undisturbed that would do.
"A2 can start A3 and then A2 can call finish on itself. This way the stack is A1 A3." - When we press back button from A3 i want A2 to be displayed cannot remove A2 from the stack. -Aditya On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 11:57 PM, Ralf <ralfo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 5:55 AM, mady369 <aditya.mare...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > That was informative but unfortunately didn't solve my problem :( > > > > I have written an app. with three Activities A1, A2, A3.
