Delegate Android activity result to other activity

I have the following scenario:

  1. My MainActivity class launches InputActivity1 using startActivityForResult with the request code SOME_USER_INPUT.
  2. InputActivity1 lets the user input some data and then passes this data to InputActivity2 using Intent.putExtra.
  3. In InputActivity2 the user can input some more data.
  4. By calling setResult and finish in InputActivity2, all data the user entered shall be returned to the onActivityResult method of MainActivity with the previously specified request code SOME_USER_INPUT.

That is, MainActivity shall not notice at all that the result comes from InputActivity2, although it just called InputActivity1.

How can I do the transition from step 2 to 3? I already tried starting InputActivity2 from InputActivity1 by calling startActivityForResult with the request code and finish, but (admittedly as expected) MainActivity does not receive anything.

Don't call finish in InputActivity1 after calling startActivity (InputActivity2). Do it only when you get the results from InputActivity2. In that way you can pass the results from InputActivit2 to MainActivitiy.

I guess, you can implement this with One InputActivity with two fragments. Just think.
