Clearing the activity stack without firing intent for new activity-CodePudding

I want to clear the activity stack when the user comes back to the dashboard screen. To achieve only one entry point for all the links I have on the dashboard.

How to clear all the activity stacks programmatically?

I know one option of firing the Intent of dashboard activity with the Intent.CLEAR_TASK and Intent.NEW_TASK flag.

CodePudding user response：

When you call startActivity on the last activity you could always use

Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP

as a flag on that intent.

Read more about the flag here.

CodePudding user response：

you can try this to clear the activity stack.

 Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, dashboardActivity.class);
                    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
                    startActivity(intent);

CodePudding user response：

For this, I use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag for starting Intent (without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)

and launchMode = "singleTask" in manifest for launched activity.

Seems like it works as I need - the activity does not restart and all other activities are closed.
