Loops

I have used about 5 hours to figure this out.

I have one activity with a textview and two buttons. The activity have to start with a random text and for every tab on one of the two buttons I will like to have a random generator to get new text to the view. But only for four times more (four clicks).

I have found out how to make random generator and keep getting new text on the view for every click i make, but I cant get it to stop after 4 times, and actually I want it to get back to the last activity when this activity is done (after 4 clicks and 5 different strings in the textview). I also know how to get back to the last activity, but just not at the right time :-(

I think the huge problem is, which loops to choose and how to combine them? I have a feeling it can be done much more simple than I think, i am just a little frustrated.

I hope i am clear enough on this one, thank you for your time

Kind regards Mark
