Android: Press Back Button onCreate method is not called

Question

I tested of my application in my Samsung device. I realized that when I pressed on back button of my device, application does not recall the OnCreate method on previous activity. It just resumes previous activity page only. May I know how can I call onCreate method of previous page when I click on back button. Thanks

To me it sounds like you are opening a second activity to get some information and then applying the changes to the previous activity.

If not you should look at the Activity lifecycle so that you understand where to put your update code:
