Question

I want to retrieve the number available in the call log in android application.

I do not want to get all the call log and populate in my app activity. Instead I want to use existing android Intent to view and once selected the number from the list, I want the number back in my activity.

I guess I will have to use startActivityForResult for this. But what I am confused is what will be the code in this method. I want only the number.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

ok, first from activity A you should create intent

Intent i=new Intent(...);
startActivityForResult(i,0)

and on the activity B you do this

Intent i1=getIntent();
//here you put data
i.putExtra("key","value");

and than in the first activity, activity A you get your data like this
in the method:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    String dataINeeded=data.getExtra("key");
}

that’s it
