Remarks

Generate a new description for this activity. This method is called before stopping the activity and can, if desired, return some textual description of its current state to be displayed to the user.

The default implementation returns null, which will cause you to inherit the description from the previous activity. If all activities return null, generally the label of the top activity will be used as the description.
