In my code i have camera preview and video recording on button click so my code works well for recording and preview.
but when i press back button then surfaceview create and surface view change method get called after that surfaceview destroy method called so i have to press back button again and at this time it directly call surface destroy ( second time surface create and surface change is not called)
Here is my code (based on vanevery's answer here):

Based on debugging/discussion on chat:
the first time back is being hit, the existing Camera activity gets destroyed and another one is created. Used the following to follow the changes in the back stack:
adb shell dumpsys activity | grep -i run
No new task is required, so this is useless: i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Apparently, using i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) helps!
I'm not sure why exactly this is helping though. (Especially, because IIUC, with *CLEAR_TOP, the existing instance of the activity on the stack would be used (with onNewIntent), but here (based on the output from dumpsys, a new activity gets created :|). But it works on archos.
