Question

I’m looking for the accessor version of Activity’s setResult(). Imagine getResult() to return a Bundle if a resultCode and Intent have been used in setResult().

The reason for this is by default activities load with the resultCode set to RESULT_CANCELED: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.3_r1/android/app/Activity.java#669, and I would like to be able to query the resultCode from the onPause method. This might save a listener for the back button pressed.

Can’t you just save the resultCode to a member variable when you set it and read it back in onPasuse?

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
    private int result = RESULT_CANCELLED;
    ...
    // do some stuff
    result = RESULT_OK;
    setResult(result);
    ...
    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        switch (result) {
        case RESULT_OK:
            // do stuff
            break;
        }
    }
}

You could also do some something similar with any Intent you use.

You would have to bear in mind that onPause will be called any time that your Activity is no longer in the foreground, not just when you have set a result and called finish().
