Use onStop for unbinding service

Issue

I have an Activity and i want to close it without calling onDestroy(). So I use onStop(); which looks like

@Override
    public void onStop(){
        super.onStop();
        try{
            unbindService(mServerConn);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

I runs the code but the activity is still visible on the screen

Can you help me to hide it? Thanks!

Solution

Usage of onStop() is not correct in that situation. If you need to close activity use finish().

Intent openStartingPoint = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
openStartingPoint.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(openStartingPoint);
finish();

This should work fine.
