Question

Can I use startActivityForResult multiple times??

I have 5 activites A,B,C,D,E

A->B->C--STARTACTIVITYFORRESULT->D---STARTACTIVITYFORRESULT--->D---SETRESULT-->D
--STARTACTIVITY-->E ---SETRESULT-->C

When i Call setresult from E it takes me back to D rather than C. What should i do to make it redirect to ActivityC

Answer 1

Think of startActivityForResult as a Stack.push

example

1. You have activity A running
2. You startActivityForResult activity B
3. In activity B you startActivityForResult activity C
4. In activity C you startActivityForResult activity D

At this point, in the stack: you have A–B–C–D

If D finishes, D is popped and you return to C.

When C finishes, C is popped and you return to B

Finally When B finishes, B is popped and you return to A
