Hi Spiral, with search dialog I mean the search bar that came up at the top of the current activity if it is searchable when the user hits the device search button. The user hits this button then onSearchRequested() of my map activity will be called. I use startSearch(). Don't forget, the map activity is "searchable" so it is instantiated new and onCreate() will be called. But this is not the same activity where the search was requestet, its a new instance. When the user goes back using the device back button for example, the second map activity (opened for display the search results) will be closed and the first is shown again - this is not really nice and I don't want to use a lit view to display the search result, I want to mark the first found result within the map and ste the center to it and when the user wants to return he should come back to the very first activity that opened the map activity.
Yesterday, late night, I thought about this... should I finish() the "search result" activity within the onCreate() and give back the results to the first one? But how can I do this, I not called it using startActivityForResult(). Thank you very much! -Danny On Apr 22, 12:46 am, Spiral123 <[email protected]> wrote: > hi danny. > > If you have a dialog where the user can search for an address, then > show the results of that search within the dialog - then the back > button will quit the dialog with the search results and return to the > original map activity - which is what I think you want to achieve. > > It does make the search dialog more complex though. > > On Apr 21, 6:13 pm, "Danny S." <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > i have a map activity and added a search dialog where the user can > > search for an address.
