Question

My application shall work the following way:

1. Activity #1 contains a text field (EditText) and a button.
2. If the user clicks the button a search dialog is opened via onSearchRequested().
3. This calls the searchable activity #2 which extends ListActivity. It provides a list of items via setListAdapter().
4. If the user clicks on a list item activity #2 shall pass the selected item’s text back to activity #1 and display it in the text field.

Bullets #1-3 are clear and working. However I don’t have any idea how to implement #4. I know about the possibility to use intents but it doesn’t work if I use an intent after onSearchRequested().

Thanks,
Robert
