android - Populate editText from a listView -

i have edittext, next button. when click button, use onclick trigger intent start new activity, brings listview.

when click item in listview, want listview activity close , populate edittext item. seems i'm going @ wrong, suggestions?

when fire intent, use "startactivityforresult", described in starting activities, getting results.

when fire intent activity listview, line should this:

intent someintent = new intent(someaction, someuri); startactivityforresult(someintent, some_request_code);     

within activity listview, before returning, use "setresult" method set proper resultcode (the 1 passed in), , intent holding data.

... intent data = new intent(); data.putextra("key",value);     setresult(result_ok, intent data) .... 

then, in calling activity, onactivityresult called, containing data.

@override protected void onactivityresult(int requestcode, int resultcode, intent data) {    if (requestcode == some_request_code) { //which activity you're returning        if (resultcode == result_ok) { // went expected             bundle extras = data.getextras();             string val = extras.getstring(key);             dosomething(val)             ...        }    } } 

hope helps!
