在firstactivity 活动中 使用startActivityForResult 第一个参数是 intent 第二个参数是请求码启动Activity
startActivityForResult

FirstActivity.class

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

在SecondAcitvity活动中用setResult方法传递数据给上一个Acitvity 然后调用finish方法销毁SecondAcitvity

SecondAcitvity.class

Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        // 给上一个Activity传递参数
        intent.putExtra("data_return", "Hello MainActivity");
        // 返回数据 RESULT_CANCELED
        setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
        finish();
    }
});

在FirstAcitvity中重写onActivityResult方法
FirstAcitvity.class

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case 1:
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                String returnedData = data.getStringExtra("data_return");
                Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult: "+returnedData);
            }
            break;
        default:
    }
}

如果按back键返回在SecondActivity中重写onBackPressed方法

public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.putExtra("data_return", "Hello MainActivity");
    setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
    finish();
}
