How to finish parent activity from child activity

Try to launch child activity with

 startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_EXIT);

In child activity

case R.id.quit:     setResult(RESULT_OK, null);     finish();

In parent activity

 @Overrideprotected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {    if (requestCode == REQUEST_EXIT) {         if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {            this.finish();         }     }}

use startActivityForResult() in Activity A for start activity B and onActivityResult() in A just finish() Activity A. In Activity B on Button pressed just finish() Activity B.

You can finish parent activity from child activity like...

In Parent....

 startActivityForResult(new Intent(Parent.this, Child.class), ACTIVITY_CONSTANT);

And override the OnActivityForResult(...) method in Parent .

@Overrideprotected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {    // TODO Auto-generated method stub    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);    if(requestCode == ACTIVITY_CONSTANT)    {        finish();    }}

When you call finish() on child activity, it finishes parent also.
