Android: setResult not working

Question

Scenario: I have a MainActivity.java, OtherPageForFragments.java and a fragment which is on OtherPageForFragments.java

In MainActivity.java, I have written the following code to start an activity and get result in

onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)

is

startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, OtherPageForFragments.class),REQUEST_CODE_MAP);

In the onDestroy() of the fragment class, i have written this:

public void onDestroyView() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDestroyView();
        mlocManager.removeUpdates(this);
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.putExtra("Latitude", passLatLng.latitude);
        intent.putExtra("Longitude", passLatLng.longitude);
        getActivity().setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, intent);
        getActivity().finish();
    }

Now, I want my result in the MainActivity class. So, i have written the following code in the onActivityResult method:

if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_MAP)
        {
            tost("2");
            double lat=data.getExtras().getDouble("Latitude");
            double lng=data.getExtras().getDouble("Longitude");
            tost(lat + " -- " + lng);
        }

The Problem: the resultCode getting returned is not Activity.RESULT_OK and the Intent I am getting is null.

What to do? Thanks

Answer 1

getActivity().setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, intent);
getActivity().finish();

this code shouldn't be in onDestroy. onDestroy happens after the activity is already finished, and onActivityResult was called.

this code needs to in the code that closes the activity/fragment, like on back key pressed, or a close button onClick
