How to close an activity from another activity

Question

I need to close activity. But not right after its on pause. I need to close it when I'm in other activity.

how can I do that?

Answer 1

Try this method too,

For Android Studio:

 ((Your Main Activity) Activity()).finish(); //this will close that corresponding activity 

or

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); //using this you can exit from the whole activity  for both Eclipse and Android studio

For Eclipse:

  finish();

Or

private void kill_activity()
   { 
  finish();
  }
