Sending string filepath in setResult()

Question

I have created a file explorer and a separate app with an editText to display some data. But how do I send the filepath back? I have stored the filepath in a string variable.

Answer 1

You can use startActivityForResult:

Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);  
startActivityForResult(intent, 2);// 

To pass result back :

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