Question

How can i get the result back from an Activity if started from an Overlay e.g. I am using the following code:

Intent alertSett = new Intent(_ctx, AlertSettings.class); 

_ctx.startActivity(alertSett);

//set destination
setDestination();

I want to call the setDestination(); based on the settings i received from AlertSettings Activity, there is no startActivityForResult() in context which seems ok because it’ll trigger the overridden onActivityResult which is in Activity Class. Is there any other way to accomplish it?

You can implement sort of a callback mechanism by usingBroadcastReceiver.
