start your Camera Activity like this way

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(this, MAINActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(mainIntent);

it will start the camera activity as child don't start new activity from camera when you complete camera activity finish this way

setResult(RESULT_OK);
finish();

of if cancel from that activity then do like this

setResult(RESULT_CANCEL);
finish();

now it will finish the camera activity and go back to the main activity

You can save activity state in the callback method onSaveInstanceState() in your MainActivity. When you'll back to this activity next time, you may retrieve data from Bundle in onCreate() method.

Another way is to start MyCamera activity with startActivityForResult(), and after MyCamera activity is done, set result value and finish it.
