[android-developers] Re: How to end a child activity and return to parent activity?

And 'finish()' does the same thing as the default behavior of the Back
key.

But why do you want it to do this? Most screens in Android terminate
when the user presses Back, so the user is conditioned to expect this
-- except for progress layouts and the like, where Android already
handles that for you.

Automatic return might not always be a bad idea, but it often is.
