I have 2 activities A and B. I call activity B from activity A

I have 2 activities A and B.

  1. I call activity B from activity A using startActivity(B);
  2. I do some operations in B and call back activity A using startActivity(A);

I have noticed that instance variables in class A are cleared (reinitialized). Is using onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) a correct way to save these variables before A gets stopped?

In my onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) method of class A, I try to retrieve the data previously saved by onSaveInstanceState(Bundle). However the variable savedInstanceState is always null and I can’t retrieve any data.

    If you want to return to your previous activity, you must call finish() on activity B, and then intercept it in activity A with onActivityResult().

    Is that what you tried to accomplish?
