My application works as follow:
On start I have some AppStartActivity
which does something, finishes itself and starts MainActivity
if user is logged in or LoginActivity
otherwise.
LoginActivity
finishes itself and starts MainActivity
when user log in successfully.
On MainActivity
I have SomeActivity
from which user can logout. Activity stack for this situation is MainActivity > SomeActivity
. It is correct, back button works well. When user click LogOut
button there is a problem. I need to show LoginActivity
but I don't want to have MainActivity
and SomeActivity
on activity stack anymore.
I could resolve this problem if I wouldn't finish AppStartActivity
. I could go back then with flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
and it would work well. But here is a problem with back button. I don't want user to come back to this activity with back button. I want it to exit app instead.
UPDATED:
Flags FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
would be best, but I need it working in API level 9.
