back to previous activity

Question

I try to go to previous Activity (Activity A) but have problem. Command to this get inside Activity B and I wont to go back to B:

A:

if(...)
{
   B.staticF();
}

B:

static void staticF()
{
   super.onBackPressed();
}

But I can't use super because it's static context.

Of course, I can call

Intent i = new Intent(this, B.class);
startActivity(i);

but I wont to save B look.

I prefer to use a "global" state like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/708317/862629 — Sam Felix, Feb 10 '12 at 10:03

Why not just use something like a shared preference to save the state? and then use the intent to go back and in the onCreate method get the preferences and populate any views with the data you wanted to save

Hmm, that is what I would do and Im pretty experienced with android, what is in the UI of activity B? – FabianCook Feb 10 '12 at 10:18
public class B extends Activity { ... } – Leo Feb 10 '12 at 10:40
Have you ever considered using fragments? – FabianCook Feb 10 '12 at 10:46
