Clear all activities in a task?

finish() removes the activity from the stack. So, if you start LoginActivity and call finish() on SplashActivity, and then you do exact the same to start WelcomeActivity you will get the desired behaviour. No need to use extra flags.


Use android:noHistory="true" on the splash activity in the manifest file. 

<activity 
android:name=".activity.SplashActivity" 
android:theme="@style/theme_noActionBar" 
android:noHistory="true">


Intent intent = new Intent(this, NextActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
                    IntentCompat.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

Yes that should work fine. You could use:

  • FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
  • FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
  • FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
  • FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

which ensures that if an instance is already running and is not top then anything on top of it will be cleared and it will be used, instead of starting a new instance (this useful once you've gone Welcome activity -> Activity A and then you want to get back to Welcome from A, but the extra flags shouldn't affect your case above).
