Activity A -> Activity B -> Activity C -> Activity D

Let's assume we have this flow. From Activity D I want to come back to Activity B, so my stack should look after I close Activity D like this: 

Activity A -> Activity B

I have used startActivity(this, Activity B).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) but it does not restore the activity from back stack, it created it again;

When I initially start Activity B from Activity A I had sent some data in bundle which is lost now; So, do I have to sent that data through Activity C -> Activity D so I can have it and send it back to Activity B when I open it form Activity D, or I can some how restore Activity B?

  • you can start activity D with startActivityForResult. for those cases you want to close activity C also when D is closed, pass some value to the onActivityResult of activity C and handle it from there. – Viswas Kg Apr 30 '19 at 11:22

Using android:taskAffinity could be an option for you.

You can configure ActivityC and ActivityD with the same affinity. When ActivityD is closed using Activity#finishAffinity() ActivityD and ActivityC are finished -- ActivityB is resumed with its previous intent.
