POAndroid onActivityResult NEVER called
text
Body
copied!<p>my onActivityResult method is never called. am using android 2.2</p> <p>I am using a Tabhost, where TabHosts contain TabGroups which contain individual Activities.</p> <p>One of my individual activity runs the following intent</p> <pre><code> Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 0); </code></pre> <p>this loads my gallery apps, I use the default android gallery to select one image and when I return my onActivityResult is not called my activity.</p> <p>It looks like this - and I put a breakpoint at <code>if(resultCode == 0)</code> , so right now, the logic of my onActivityResult should not matter</p> <pre><code> public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == 0) { if (requestCode == 0) { Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData(); //OI FILE Manager filemanagerstring = selectedImageUri.getPath(); //MEDIA GALLERY selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri); //DEBUG PURPOSE - you can delete this if you want if(selectedImagePath!=null) System.out.println(selectedImagePath); else System.out.println("selectedImagePath is null"); if(filemanagerstring!=null) System.out.println(filemanagerstring); else System.out.println("filemanagerstring is null"); //NOW WE HAVE OUR WANTED STRING if(selectedImagePath!=null) System.out.println("selectedImagePath is the right one for you!"); else System.out.println("filemanagerstring is the right one for you!"); } } } </code></pre> <p>Lifecycle functions are often called out of order and intermittently for Activities within a tabhost/tabgroup, so I checked to see what lifecycle functions ARE being called after the gallery closes (this happens as soon as I select an image from the android gallery)</p> <p>The only one being called is the <code>onResume()</code> in my TabHost activity. So I tried putting the exact same <code>onActivityResult()</code> method in my TabHost class AS WELL AS the TabActivity class. With a breakpoint in the same location at the beginning of method.</p> <p>Neither of these classes are called.</p> <p>I'm drawing a blank now, how can I get the result from the gallery app in my app if none of the built in receiving methods will respond to it.</p> <p>Since I know that my main TabHost gets the <code>onResume()</code> called, I tried added <code>Intent graphics = getIntent();</code> to see if it would receive data from the gallery selection, it does not, so I don't see how I can do the logic in the onResume() method either.</p> <p>Solutions welcome! :)</p>
