startActivity startActivityForResult

            Intent intent=new Intent();  
            intent.setClass(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);  
            MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

而另一种是打开一个特定的Activity取得数据之后，返回给主界面的Activity；因为可能在复杂的主界面中，如果再来操作一些数据，可能显得更烦琐。

  操作的基本步骤:1.主界面调用startActivityForResult(Intent intent，int requestCode)启动特定的Activity；其中第二个参数requestCode表示特定的请求码

                               2.在特定的Activity中得到数据后将数据放入主界面对应的Intent中

                               3.设置当前Activity的结果码

                               5.关闭当前的Activity，返回主界面；在主界面会触发(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)方法；参数分别在 请求码，结果码，取得的数据

                               6.主界面根据请求码和结果码来判断是否在特定的Activity取得的数据
