onActivityResult() is not called in my main activity

In my main activity I call the second activity via button click in my toolbar like this

  if(id == R.id.addNav) {
        startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, TextFormActivity.class), 0);
        return true;
    }

Then in my second activity first I have constant for the tag

public static final String EXTRA_TEXT_ADD =
            "text_add";

Then when the add button was clicked I'm setting up the result

mButtonAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Text text = new Text();
            text.setTitle(mEditTextTitle.getText().toString());
            text.setRecipient(mEditTextRecipient.getText().toString());
            text.setSent(false);
            text.setMessage(mEditTextMessage.getText().toString());
            mTextList.add(text);
            Intent i = new Intent();
            i.putExtra(TextFormActivity.EXTRA_TEXT_ADD,true);
            setResult(RESULT_OK, i);

        }
    });

This is how I handle things in onActivityResult

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        Log.d("TextListActivity", "Result Entered");
        if(data == null){
            return;
        }
        boolean result = data.getBooleanExtra(TextFormActivity.EXTRA_TEXT_ADD,false);
        Toast.makeText(this,"Result Code: "+ result,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

I still don't know why my toast is not showing up when I'm returning to the main activity

EDIT Well I already found the problem and that is I'm using NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(TextFormActivity.this); to go back to the main activity and it does not call the method onActivityResult.

You need to finish the activity you started for result.

So in you button click listener after setting the result , just finish the activity.

mButtonAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            .....
            ........
            Intent i = new Intent();
            i.putExtra(TextFormActivity.EXTRA_TEXT_ADD,true);
            setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
            finish();// finish the activity
        }
    });

Try this, should work.
