Mike, You need to think of activities like a stack of cards. If you open one, it will be placed on top of the pack. So if you want to open a new activity from Activity B, just do use startActivity() as normal.
Activity A ---> Activity B --> Activity C When you close Activity C, do a setResult(RESULT_CANCELLED) followed by finish() just like I described for Activity B. Activity B will handle the onActivityResult(), where you tell it to do the same thing again. This way you are popping the activities off the stack one-by-one, when there are no more activities left, the app will close. To the user, this will appear as though Activity A and Activity B had been closed when Activity C opened. Your second option, which I did not think of before, is to add the android:noHistory="true" attribute to Activity A and Activity B in your AndroidManifest.xml. I don't have much experience with this flag, but my understanding is that it will close the current activity when another one is opened. The first approach will give you more control, but this attribute might be simpler: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist If I'm on the wrong track here, perhaps you could describe what you want step-by-step. At the moment, it sounds like you want the stack to have just one activity at all times.
