What happens to old activity after starting a new intent?

Question

what happens to the rest of the code of older activity after starting a new activity? here 'doSomeWork()' is called or not? does startActivity() work as a return statement?

public void method(){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, newactivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    doSomeWork();
}

Answer 1

here 'doSomeWork()' is called or not?

It will be called immediately. startActivity() is not a blocking call. newactivity will not be started by the time startActivity() returns.

does startActivity() work as a return statement?

No.
