It is very common, when starting a new activity, to want to receive the data from that other activity at the end of the activity and then execute an action.
Let’s look at an example:
Let’s suppose I have a ListProducts activity and AddEditProduct. Within the ListProducts activity I click on the button to add a new product, and I want to receive the result of this product addition in my ListProducts activity. Well, that’s why we use the onActivityResult() overridden method in the activity we want to receive the result from. Below is the example code to illustrate how to use these methods.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView textView1;
Button button1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
button1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);// Activity é iniciada com requestCode 1
}
});
}
// Recebe os dados da outra Activity
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
// Verfica se o requestCode é o mesmo que foi passado
if(requestCode==1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
String message=data.getStringExtra("MESSAGE");
textView1.setText(message);
}
}
}
