How to remove particular activities from stack?

Question

Let's say that I have this stack of activities:

A -> B -> C -> D

The activity D has a Save button. After click on that button I want to get back two activities in the stack (C and D are part of some kind of wizard so I want to remove them both):

A -> B

Is this possible?

Launch the activity B from D with FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag..

Intent a = new Intent(this, B.class);
a.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(a);

And this brings back the B activity and still preserves the A below it? – user219882 Sep 22 '12 at 13:43
yes. Im pretty much sure.. if you had not finished activity `A` when launching `B` from it.. – Ron Sep 22 '12 at 13:44

try finishing them in the onPause() . I think they will remove the activities from the stack and on the button click call the activity that you want to start using intents
