I am trying to pass data backwards to an activity, however I can never get my onActivityResult
function to be called. When I start the new activity, I create a new intent like regular
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewLoanCost.class);
intent.putExtra("defaultsArray", jDefaultsArray.toString());
intent.putExtra("loanSelection", loanSelection);
intent.putExtra("buyerSellerSelection", buyerSellerSelection);
startActivity(intent);
and when I want to go back to the previous activity, I am overriding the back button to create a new intent and store the data
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("fullCosts", fullCosts.toString());
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
super.onBackPressed();
}
but in the first activity, I can't even get a debugging toast to appear. Am I missing something blatant?
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
//super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Toast.makeText(this, "onActivityResult", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if (requestCode == 1) {
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
try {
jDefaultsArray = new JSONArray(data.getStringExtra("fullCosts"));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
To receive a result you should use startActivityForResult
instead of startActivity
