Android Question Activity.Finish from starter (service)

[sivakrith]

Hello,
Can we close an opened current activity from starter <service> ? Replication code is there in the starter (service) to update records from web database (postgres) to device database (sqlite). It works fine.
On certain value from web database, I want the activity to get closed automatically by displaying a message. Is it possible ?
We could not call a command like activity.finish in starter (service) file. Is there any other way that we could close the current active activity from starter (service) ?

Happiness Always

In activity code create sub:

sub finishActivity()
  activity.finish
end sub

In starter service call that sub:

callsubdelayed(ActivityName,"finishactivity")

Better to use CallSub in this case. If the activity is not visible it will not do anything. With CallSubDelayed it can start the activity in some cases (and the message will go to the messages queue in other cases).
