Is this the correct way to start an Activity?

Question

Intent nnn = new Intent(Hello.this, NewActivity.class);
startActivity(nnn);
finish();

This would start a new activity, and then close the current Activity forever, right?

Answer 1

yes. finish should stop the activity. The onDestroy() happens when its called.
