Question

I found this code very usefull to get from one activity to the other but the problem is, that I don’t see where the destination is mentioned. I would really appreciate it if some one pointed out how to change the destination.

Here is the code:

Button getTaxi = (Button) findViewById(R.id.GetTaxi);
    getTaxi.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(final View view) {
            final Intent intent = new Intent();
            setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
            finish();
        }
    });

The respective part in the xml:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/GetTaxi"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:text="GetTaxi" >
</Button>

Thank you very much in advance!

Actually, the code that executes on the Button‘s click states that your Activity (which is a sub-activity here by the way) has done its job and now finishes with the result code RESULT_OK. It means that there was another Activity that has started this actual Activity for some kind of result. So, when you’ll click the Button your Activity will finish. To start some other Activity on the Button‘s click you should create an Intent, specifying explicitly the Activity you want to start, or just the action you want to perform over some data, letting the Android resolve the final Activity for you. Then you should call startActivity(), passing in the Intent you’ve created. Hope this helps.
