Hello.
Is there any way to send data to previous activity other than using startActivityForResult or storing it in preferences?

@Nikolay Puliaev Actually I can't add any other API to the project and I can't use StartActivityForResult to call another activity 😅. I am kinda restricted

[Artur Schwarz]

It’s included in the current version of the Android SDK, you don’t have to add any other APIs/SDKs to your project

[Nikolay Puliaev]

Really, I thought we need add activity and fragment dependencies to use it?

[Artur Schwarz]

Well, sort of. You have to have the AndroidX Components included in your app.

[Artur Schwarz]

But this is an official google lib. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that you are not allowed to use it in your app.

Guys I thought it's a 3rd party API. My bad.

👍 🙂

Then you have to be able to achieve what you want with this one
