title: Returning an array from an activity
body: <p>I am currently working on an android project and I want to be able to startActivityForResult so that I can return an array of. </p>
  
  <p>The array is an <code>ArrayList&lt;Spanned&gt;</code> lets say its called myArray. </p>
  
  <p>From what I've read I can't return an array directly from the activty using the set result so I was thinking that once the array has added all the data to the array, I can then call the toString function on it, i.e. <code>myArray.toString()</code>. </p>
  
  <p>If I do this, I have no idea how I can then convert this back into the original <code>ArrayList&lt;Spanned&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help you can provide. </p>
