Android to Send Data Back from Child Activity with startActivityForResult

Posted on November 26, 2021November 26, 2021 By christo No Comments on Android to Send Data Back from Child Activity with startActivityForResult

Full project with source code When we open another activity, we can send data to it by using an intent and putExtra. But what if we also want to get something back? This is what the startActivityForResult method is for.

By opening our child activity with this method and overriding onActivityResult we can send data back to our parent activity after we set it with setResult in our child activity before we close it
