The other suggestions given in this post are better than your original
concept for several reasons.  For one thing a View is a heavy weight
object for keeping in memory just to accomplish inter-Activity
communication.  In general you want to update the Model, not the
View.  When the Activity is re-started again it can update the View.
For another thing, depending on the launchMode, you might have more
than one instance of the this Activity (and thus its View).
