clear stack activities and finish

Issue

For example,

I have activity A, B, C, D

A call B

Intent intent = new Intent(A,B.class);

startActivity(intent);

Then, B call C

Intent intent = new Intent(B,C.class);

startActivity(intent);

After that, C call D

Intent intent = new Intent(C,D.class);

startActivity(intent);

In Activity D, I call finish(). It will return back to Activity C.

My question is how can I clear Activity A, B, C before calling finish() so that the app quit like normal.

Don't suggest call finish() on every startactivity because the app can press back to previous activity to continue.

Solution

This should work definitely...

Intent intent = new Intent(D,A.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.putExtra("close",true);
startActivity(intent);

and in oncreat of A activity u have to write
if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("close", false)) {finish();
}
else {
{
 //ur previous code here
}

Have fun if any problem u can ask
