hi Sean, this is what i have done.
i Have 3 activities. Activity A, Activity B, and Activity C. Activity A is the starting Activity. according to a user action Activity A will navigate to Activity B like this. finish(); startActivityForResult(Activity B, 102); Activity A --> Activity B after 5 seconds Activity B will starts Activity C StartActivity(Activity C) and will not finish Activity B. on top of Activity B, Activity C will be run. this is Activity C onCreate method @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras(); msg_id = b.getLong("ID"); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND); setContentView(R.layout.blur_blue); } this is manifest.xml <activity android:name=".Activity C" android:theme="@style/ Theme.Blue"/> this is my theme.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <drawable name="Blue">#770000ff</drawable> <drawable name="Green">#7700ff00</drawable> <drawable name="Purple">#70970468</drawable> <drawable name="Pink">#70de6496</drawable> <drawable name="Red">#7f00</drawable> <drawable name="Orange">#70ff7e00</drawable> <drawable name="Yellow">#70fff000</drawable> </resources> so Activity C will run on top of Activity B. so when i pressed back button from activity C application should redirects to Activity A. @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) { finish(); finishActivity(102); startActivity(new Intent(Acitivyt C, Activity A )); return true; } return false; } Application redirects to Activity A and when i pressed back from Activity A again it redirects to Activity B and will not close the application. this is what i'm doing in Activity A @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub boolean b = false; if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) { // int x = android.os.Process.SIGNAL_QUIT; finish(); finishActivity(102); } return b; } so Sean what do you think?? what can be done. regards, Randika -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
