Android Finishing Activity Not Working

Once the user chooses a product from my ListView, it then puts the selected text from that ListView into an EditText. The problem I am having is when the user selects a product fro

Solution 1:

You need to launch your activity in a way that it doesn't get added to back stack. Here's how you do that: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12358563/375929

Solution 2:

If I understand you correctly, you are calling finish() on the wrong Activity. If you want the list Activity to finish then that's where you need to call finish()

@OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> listview, View myView,
            int pos, long mylng) {
        StringCPU= (String) listview.getAdapter().getItem(pos);

        Intenti=newIntent(getApplicationContext(),
                ListmenuActivity.class);

        i.putExtra("key", CPU);
        startActivity(getIntent());
        startActivity(i);

        finish();  // finish here

    }

and remove finish() from your EditText Activity

Another issue I see is it looks like you are starting that second bit of code with the first using startActivityForResult() but you aren't sending back a result in your second code. Instead, you seem to be starting another Activity. It seems that second bit should be more like

@OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> listview, View myView,
            int pos, long mylng) {
        StringCPU= (String) listview.getAdapter().getItem(pos);

        Intenti=newIntent();
        i.putExtra("key", CPU);
        setResult(1, i);

        finish();  // finish here

    }
