onCreate flow continues after finish()
I'm guessing that it is because finish() doesn't cause the onCreate method to return. You could try simply adding
finish();return;Or use an if else
@Overridepublic void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.layoutb); if(good data){ //do stuff }else{ finish(); }}
It seems like finish() does not work until onCreate() return control to system. Please refer to this post: about finish() in android. You have to consider this issue if you don't want any of your code to be executed after calling finish.
Hope it helps.
