Hello there ;) I have some - maybe simple - problem; unfortunately I cannot find a solution:
I have two activities which communicate via: startActivityForResult(), setResult(), onActivityResult. I will call the first activity "parent" and the second one "client", although this may not be technically correct; so the order of calls must be: parent.startActivityForResult() client.setResult() parent.onActivityResult() Now, where should I call setResult in the client activity ? I have already tried various possibilities which have all failed: - setResult() in client.onPause() is called TOO LATE; the result has already been transmitted to the parent (although the method client.onPause() seems to be called in time). - client.onSaveInstanceState() is not guaranteed to be called at all (and the documentation hints at the same timing problem). - The only TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE solution seems to implement a change- listener for any screen element and set the result there. This may work in theory, but is NOT VIABLE in practice: (1) it is strenuous and error-prone for activities with many elements; (2) it gets even more complicated, when side-effects kick in (change one field in dependency to another); (3) it is really slow, since one must write ALL contents any time, a SINGLE element changes (and the generic Intent communication is already slow by design). To me, it would seem most natural to overload the onPause() method and setResult() there - once and for all. There MUST be some easier way than implementing zounds of listeners ... Am I overlooking something ? Another listener I haven't stumbled over yet ? Please prove me wrong ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
