startActivityForResult（）;

Question

Intent emailSend = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        emailSend.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"tonikg90@gmail.com"});
        emailSend.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Item Best Seller");


        emailSend.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, map1.toString());
        emailSend.setType("text/plain");

        //startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailSend, "Send Email..."));

        setResult(RESULT_OK, emailSend); 
        finish();
        break;

after click sending Email Button, It's supposed to go to email service. But It immediately goes back to the first activity. How can I make it to mail service, and after click "send" then it returns back to the first activity, also with Toast says that "Email has been sent"

Answer 1

First, remove comment from startActivityForResult method. Remember: start activity works asynchronously, so just after you used startActivityForResult, setResult and finish will be executed.

What you need to do then is to implement the onActivityResult method, and move setResult and finish to there. onActivityResult will be called when the email has been sent, thus it will get you back to your main activity.
