I haven't been able to figure this out on my own yet, so here's the code I'm using:
To start an activity (happens in onCreate with a specific condition): Intent i = new Intent(StatusActivity.this, AddAccountActivity.class); this.startActivity(i); To close the new activity (happens in a callback method after doing OAuth with Twitter/Facebook): finish(); I'm not attempting to return data to the initial activity, but Is there something I need to do in the initial activity that can catch the return? Or what am I missing here? Chris Stewart [email protected] On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 3:49 PM, Chris Stewart <[email protected]>wrote: > I do have one of those circumstances.
