However I have one more question if you don't mind asking concerning onRestart(), onStart() and onActivityResult(). I am using onActivityResult() in acitivty A to store data from acitivty B in a database. Is it safe to refresh the screen widgets with the data in onActivityResult() or is it better to do this inside onStart()? Plus, which gets called first, the asynchronous onActivityResult() or onStart(). This is what has been puzzling me lately.
