How to set result for activity in Android?

Question

I have a ListActivity that is started with startActivityForResult by a PreferenceActivity.

On ListItemClick, I want to return with a result to my PreferenceActivity.

How do I do this? When will onActivityResult be called?

Answer 1

Call this on List Item Click Event.

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("SOMETHING", "EXTRAS");
setResult(RESULT_OK, data); 
finish();
