copied!<p>You haven't clearly stated you're question. You want to understand how to pass a result back from an Activity to the Activity which called it. You must first understand that Activities aren't hierarchical even though they are kept on a back stack. Later activities do not <em>belong</em> to the Activity they are called from.</p> <p>However, here is the answer the question you meant to ask:</p> <p>You are using <code>startActivityForResult(Intent, int)</code> (Which you can read up on <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#StartingActivities" rel="nofollow">here</a>)</p> <p>When <code>Activity A</code> calls <code>startActivityForResult()</code> method <code>Activity B</code> is started, this should do whatever processing is required and then when it exits either call:</p> <pre><code>setResult(RESULT_OK) </code></pre> <p>when a yes/no is required or</p> <pre><code>setResult(RESULT_OK, intent) </code></pre> <p>where intent is an <code>Intent</code> which contains bundled information you want to use in <code>Activity A</code> to act upon. After <code>Activity B</code> exits <code>Activity A</code> will resume and call the method:</p> <pre><code> protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) </code></pre> <p>This is where you will process the result. </p> <p>You can read all about this here:</p> <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#StartingActivities" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#StartingActivities</a></p>
