that's not what he meant Justin. He meant behavior, not look and feel. The idea is that the thread that calls the new activity will be on wait \sleep state until the new activity returns the resualt, ok or cancel. The questions is there an easy way to so this ? Thread.sleep() or mMyWaitObj.wait() will cause the android OS to try and kill the app since it's not responsive, which makes me thing that a small thread on the side should open the side activity and be it's listener and the main one should be in a while look of sleep on and off untill it's notified.
that's an ugly hack, i hope there's a better way to do it.
