Strange behavior onBackPressed

Question

I have an activity contains WebView and I'm passing URL while opening, Like this:

Intent activity = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),NewActivity.class);
activity.putExtra("URL", url);
startActivity(activity);

When we press back button it closes all previous activities and return to MainActivity so I overrided onBackPressed.

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        finish();
    }

and it still close all previous activities.

Note : It declared in manifest like this:

<activity
            android:name=".views.activities.NewActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>

What is the wrong with it?

How can i fix this, I just want to open previous activity onBackPressed and finish current one.

Answer 1

if I understood correctly you want to navigate to previously loaded webpages in your WebView rather than closing it from current page.

if that's true try this solution.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (webView.canGoBack()) {
        webView.goBack();
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed(); // or finish();  
    }
}

Answer 2

Try to exit view.

@Override
 public void onBackPressed() {
 System.exit(REQUEST_CODE);
 super.onBackPressed();
}
