I already know that I can pass Bundled data through setResult from one Activity back to another. However, suppose I have an global Activity that can be launched from anywhere in my app since it is mapped to a button that appears in my title bar in almost all of my activities.
Long story short, after it completes its user-driven process, I want it to signal back to the very first activity in the back stack, basically my Home activity, so that it updates the UI accordingly. Part of the problem is that since if I use a BroadcastReceiver, it is unregistered when my activity is in the background, and it will not get the signal to refresh its data set. What I want to achieve is the following: >From either Home (ActivityA), or any other activity (Activity B, C, etc...) that can open out my global activity (ActivityX), it should find a way to call back to ActivityA without bringing it to the front. Should I use FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT and if so, how should I model it from my subsequent activities after Home. In other words, if I launch a child activity from Home, should I launch it with startActivityForResult with whatever request code I define and then pass FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT when opening my global activity so that the result will be set from there? Also, suppose I launch a child activity from Home with a result, and then from my child activity I add more to the stack, from which I open ActivityX. Would the system still remember the result chain as long as I opened the first child from Home with a result? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
