Change a public boolean value from another activity

[Darkyere]

I have created a Public boolean in main window. that when its true will finish the main activity.

the question is now how i change that value from another activity.

i have spend over 24 hours on this problem and must accept i cant seem to figure it out myself:/

this is my code from the screen that need to be closed.

public static Boolean CanIClose = false;
    @Override
    public void onResume(){
        super.onResume();
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        if (CanIClose.equals(true)){
        NewShoppingListMainScreen.this.finish();
        }
    }

and this is the code from the window that i need to change the boolean value from.

public void dlgexitbtn(View view){
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewShoppingListMainScreen.class);
        intent.putExtra("true", NewShoppingListMainScreen.CanIClose);
        NewShoppingListMainScreen.CanIClose.equals(true);
        this.finish();

    }

My quess is i need to use intent to pass the value or change it. But im fairly new and cant seem to figure it out:/

Hope that i can be helped and best regards from Mark

NewShoppingListMainScreen.CanIClose.equals(true);

That's not setting the value.
That's simply comparing CanIClose with 'true'.
Try:

NewShoppingListMainScreen.CanIClose = Boolean.TRUE;

Ty kindly for this very simple way to do it :) it worked exactly as intended and closed my main window too :)
