setResult does not work when BACK button pressed

Question

I am trying to setResult after the BACK button was pressed. I call in onDestroy

Intent data = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_OK, data) 

But

Answer 1

Activity result must be set before finish() is called. Clicking BACK actually calls finish() on your activity, so you can use the following snippet:

@Override
public void finish() {
    Intent data = new Intent();
    setResult(RESULT_OK, data); 

    super.finish();
}

If you call NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(); in onOptionsItemSelected(), finish() is called, but you will get the wrong result code. So you have to call finish() not navigateUpFromSameTask in onOptionsItemSelected(). wrong requestCode in onActivityResult
