[android-developers] Activity finish() not working properly

Dear Android Community,

I'm having a strage problem and have no idea what might be wrong. I
have an option menu in an Activity, let's call it A, in which one of
the options needs to start a new Activity, B, and close A. The problem
is that the caller activity, B, is not closing. Instead Activity B is
launched, closes and goes back to Activity A. Weird!

Here's a sample of my code...

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case x:
.......//do something
break;
case y:
......//do something else
break;
case z:
Intent intent = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
startActivity(intent);
this.finish();
break;
}
return true;
}

I have tried moving the order in every way possible and some other
workarounds I have found online, but nothing seems to work. I hope
someone has encountered this problem before or has an idea of what
might be wrong. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Jalal
