Activity stack or task for my application

Question

I am using ActivityGroup in my application, structure is as follow A > B > C (where A display first), and B and C makes a loop, like B > C > B > C > B and at both B and C if a user press back button, activity A should be display(even if user is on C), and there no need of B and C in stack.

So how can I implement onBackPressed() or any other method to make my application.

are activities B and C are necessary to be kept in stack when switching one another ? — ingsaurabh, Mar 08 '11 at 11:00

You will need to use onBackPressed()

If A is a common activity it would be better if you moved it to the menu.

If I would go into such situation then here is what I opt

A activity is created and A will either call A or B
Then B and C cycle in a manner when ever I create C from B or vice versa the calling activity must finish itself
Finally On any activity whether B or C when back key is pressed it will destroy itself

for over riding back key in B and C activity here is code

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK))
    {
        finish();
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
