Question

I want to know how to pass data from the current Activity to a paused Activity.

Please advise.

Answer 1

Let’s call the paused Activity “A” and the “current” Activity “B”.

The way to have B communicate results to A is for A to call startActivityForResult() instead of startActivity(), and for B to use setResult() to provide the return value(s). A then receives those return values in onActivityResult().
