Question

I am having a hard time figuring out how to return the current date and time string from the called activity to the calling activity in the setResult statement. From what I have been able to research, it seem to involve creating a Bundle object with putExtras method. Do I use putString method for the string data? It needs a key and a value. Would appreciate some example code. Thanks.

You can do something like this…

Uri data = Uri.parse("content://anything/");
Intent result = new Intent(null,data);
result.putExtra("DATE",dateVariable);
setResult(RESULT_OK,result);
finish();

and for reading override onActivityResult…

call data.getData() to get the Uri…
call data.getStringExtra("DATE") to get the date.
