Don't create a new intent for the main GUI. Just call finish() instead. Also, if you want your main menu Activity to detect this event and do anything special when it comes back to it, it can override onActivityResult().
I'm leaving out some details such as howto return a result (RESULT_OK), how to pass a Bundle on info back to the main menu if desired, etc. But if you do the Notepad tutorial, it teaches this concept well: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html Hope this helps! -- PJ On Nov 2, 11:36 am, chippie <d4046...@tees.ac.uk> wrote: > Hey guys > > I've got an application that displays a list to the user ...
