android: ending activity from tab
- by Jin
I have 3 classes, let's call them 1, 2, and 3.
Class 1 extends TabActivity and organizes the whole tab thing, Class 2 and 3 are just two separate tabs each with some lines of text. I call Class 1 from another activity using startActivityForResult.
I then added an optionsMenu in class 2, and when user clicks the optionMenu, the following code is carried out:
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
Intent i = new Intent();
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case Result.NEXT_ID:
i.putExtra(Result.PAGE_REQUEST, NEXT);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();
break;
case Result.PREV_ID:
i.putExtra(Result.PAGE_REQUEST, PREV);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
In my parent class (the class that called 1 to begin with), in its onActivityResult function, I want to get the data from the extras. However, the intent is always null, and I can't figure out why.
When I call finish() on class 2, is it calling some other function in class 1? Do I have to transfer the intent data somehow?
