            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent arg1) 
            {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                 Intent  ToIntent= new Intent(v.getContext(),Tolist.class);
                 startActivity(ToIntent);

  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
            {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.fromunit, FROMUNIT));
                ListView lv = getListView();
                lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
                lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() 
                {
                  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                      int position, long id) {
                    // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
    //              Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
    //                  Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                      Intent prev=new Intent(view.getContext(),ServiceExampleActivity.class);
                      prev.putExtra("Fromunit",((TextView) view).getText());
                      startActivity(prev);
                  }
                });        
            }

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.fromunit, TOUNIT));
            ListView lv = getListView();
            lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
            lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() 
            {

                  int position, long id) {
                // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
    //            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
    //                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                  Intent prev=new Intent(view.getContext(),ServiceExampleActivity.class);
                  prev.putExtra("Tounit",((TextView) view).getText());
                  startActivity(prev);
              }
            });        
        }   

Answer 1

You should use startActivityForresult() method to start another Activity

eg: In FirstActivity

 int REQUEST_CODE= 1;

 public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent arg1) 
  Intent  FromIntent= new Intent(v.getContext(),Fromlist.class);
             startActivityForresult(FromIntent,REQUEST_CODE); 
            return false;
        }
    });

In secondActivity if you want to send back data

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("result",result);
setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);     
finish();

if you don’t want to return data

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, returnIntent);        
finish();

Now in your FirstActivity class write following code for onActivityResult() method

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {

 if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){

  String result=data.getStringExtra("result");

}

if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {

 //Write your code on no result return 

}
}//onAcrivityResult
