How can I return an object from a created intent back to the method which called it?

Question

I am calling a new Activity which displays a layout with a text box in a new activity for a text input.

  private void openDialogue()
        {   
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity_OpenDialogue.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }

I wish to be able to access that text object from within my class which created the new activity, or pass that newly created object back to the calling class. Note I do not want to simply access the string I wish to pass the entire EditText box object.

You can start an activity for result like this Activity for result also, you can send some extras to new activity and have it back. Text object you think String class object?

With the Extra and Bundle methods from Intent, check this other question.
