*"What am i doing wrong that i have to hit back so many times to get back to where i was originally?"*
Talk about a loaded question... You are apparently using activities for each of your screens. That is fine, but when you call startActivity() from within another activity that is the default behavior you get with the back button. This is a very basic Android concept. I highly suggest before you do ANY more development you take some time to read through the Design section (specifically the pattern sub-section) of the Android Developer website and figure out how you want your app to work. http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/index.html Once you've figured out HOW you want your app to work, and the different patterns available, you can then start developing your app and ask more specific questions.
