Answer 1

Use putextra(tag, some variable to use in mainActivity) and Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); extras.get[type of variable](tag) Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); extras.get[type of variable](tag) to pass a variable (probably a boolean) to tell the onCreate() to show or not show the pic.

EDIT: Here is one way to implement it: in the first activity:

1) Check if there are extras (AKA if second activity was loaded/ there is a true)

2) If (yes) { if (first pic is loaded) { remove first pic } else if (first pick is not but second is loaded) { remove second pic } ... for all the pictures you want to do this to.

Remember you only need to pass true/false from the second activity (and then handle it in the first/one being modified)
