logging - Android 4.0.3 and finish activity

Question

I have and Activity A calling Activity B. Then Activity B dials a number and then on the IDLE-OFFHOOK- IDLE state I call ActivityB.this.finish() so that activity A shows on front.

This all worked fine from Android 2.3.x till version 4.0.

Now it doesn't work on android 4.0.3 emulator and 4.0.2. Why?

Can someone help?

Answer 1

Better solution for this case is to use startActivityForResult.

You can switch activity from A to B, in activity B do your work and handle results in activity A at override method onActivityResult().
