title: Android: Accessing activity intents parent functions
body: <p>Android: Accessing intents parent functions.</p>
  
  <p>I have an activity that opens another activity though the intent class. I have to access the parent class functions (In order to change images from the child class). So far I have:</p>
  
  <p>(In parent)</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static Activity _activity;
  
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
      _activity = this;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then in the child activity I've got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private Activity _getImageActivity;
  
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      _getImageActivity = GetImageActivity._activity;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems to work but _getImageActivity doesn't access any of the parents public functions.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
