In my activity, I'm calling a second activity from the main activity by startActivityForResult
. In my second activity, there are some methods that finish this activity (maybe without a result), however, just one of them returns a result.
For example, from the main activity, I call a second one. In this activity, I'm checking some features of handset such as does it have a camera. If it doesn't have then I'll close this activity. Also, during the preparation of MediaRecorder
or MediaPlayer
if a problem happens then I'll close this activity.
If its device has a camera and recording is done completely, then after recording a video if a user clicks on the done button then I'll send the result (address of the recorded video) back to the main activity.
How do I check the result from the main activity?
From your FirstActivity
call the SecondActivity
using startActivityForResult()
method
For example:
int LAUNCH_SECOND_ACTIVITY = 1
Intent i = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(i, LAUNCH_SECOND_ACTIVITY);
In your SecondActivity
set the data which you want to return back to FirstActivity
. If you don't want to return back, don't set any.
For example: In SecondActivity
if you want to send back data:
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("result",result);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK,returnIntent);
finish();
If you don't want to return data:
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, returnIntent);
finish();
Now in your FirstActivity
class write following code for the onActivityResult()
method.
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == LAUNCH_SECOND_ACTIVITY) {
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
String result=data.getStringExtra("result");
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
//Write your code if there's no result
}
}
}//onActivityResult
