passing objects to another activity

Situation

In my alarm clock app I start a NewAlarmActivity by clicking a button. After the user has made all the selections, alarm gets set and `finish() is called.

The matter

I create a new LinearLayout object with images and text within it. That layout must be added to the screen of previous activity (to another LinearLayout placed inside a ScrollView) so the user is able to see the alarm set. Somehow I have to pass that LinearLayout object to the first activity and tell it to receive and add the object to the screen.

How can I do that?

You just need to read some documentation about startActivityForResult().

BTW, IMHO, you should not transport your LinearLayout object between activities, that's ugly.

No You don't have to do this. Try the approach of storing your data into a database and then when going into that Activity, build your layout according to the data you have. This is a much better way than passing a layout from one Activity to antoher.
