Android Question start new activity pause current execution

[Stern0m1]

When starting a new dialog activity, meaning the point is for user to enter something, how can I pause execution in the original activity to wait for the users entry?

Startactivity starts the new activity but also continues the current execution.

from searching the forums it sounds like callsubdelayed or StartActivityForResult is supposed to help, but I cant figure out how to implement it in a way that gains this functionality.

Thanks

From the new activity i can callsubdelayed a sub in the old activity to process the data entered.

Is that the proper way?


Thanks.

You cannot pause execution.
