Cannot resolve finish() in intent in Fragment in Android Studio

Question

Intent myIntent = new Intent(viewEnterChildExp.getContext(), MainActivityExpenses.class);
myIntent.putExtra("fromEnterChildExpenseToMainActivityExpenses", "true");
startActivity(myIntent);
finish();

I'm using the above code snippet in fragment

The finish() is in red color.

When I put mouse cursor over it, an error is popped:

can resolve method finish()

TIA!

Solution 1

Use getActivity().finish(); from Fragment to finish Activity in which current fragment is attached

Solution 2

You have to use activity instance for finish it.

Call getActivity().finish()

Solution 3

The method finiah() is not applicable for fragment. You must use getActivity().finish(); instead, if you want to finish your activity in the fragment.

what do you want by finish do you want to finish your activity ?

[Emre Koç]

getActivity.finish(); should be getActivity().finish();
