onActivityResult() not called when Activity started from Fragment

Question

I have an issue with importing a picture from the Album in Android, because the onActivityResult() method is never called.

This is the code that I wrote (called from a fragment not an activity):

Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,  android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI); getActivity().startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE); 

And by the way, I have defined the onActivityResult() but it's never triggered:

@Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {     Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult"); // not printed } 

Any idea what's wrong with this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

To have onActivityResult() called in the fragment, you should call the fragment's version of startActivityForResult(), not the activity's. So in your fragment's code, replace

getActivity().startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE); 

with

startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE); 

Answer 2

With this code:

Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI); getActivity().startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE); 

The onActivityResult must be in the Activity that contains the Fragment. From there you can call any method of the fragment, not in the fragment.

MyFragment myFragment = (MyFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment); myFragment .onCameraResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent); 

to do there whatever you want
