hi, I am calling a subactivity from main activity. This subactivity should take few numbers from user (i'm using Edit text control to achieve this), save them to static variable in another class and terminate. I want main activity to wait for subactivity but both are just running simultaneously. Even doing sth like that doesn't help:

     Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){
     public void run(){
     Log.v("==================", "run "+new Date());
     startActivityForResult(new Intent(ctx,myCustomSubactivity.class),1);  
     } });
     Log.v("==================", "calling run "+new Date());
     t.start();      
     try {
        t.join();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {Log.v("==================", "can't join");}
    Log.v("==================", "back from activity "+new Date());

do you know how to force main activity to wait? Thread.wait() method is not supported in Android(program throws error).
