Invoking audio recorder and getting the resulting file

Question

I am trying to invoke the audio recorder on Android 2.2.1 (device Samsung Galaxy POP) using the following code:

private static final int ACTIVITY_RECORD_SOUND = 1;
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);
startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVITY_RECORD_SOUND);

This invokes the recorder successfully. In my activity result i do the following:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        switch (requestCode) {
                         case ACTIVITY_RECORD_SOUND:
                             data.getDataString();
                         break;
                            }
                }
       }

After i complete the recording i press back on the audio recorder which returns the control to the onActivityResult method as expected, but my resultCode is always 0 (which is Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) and my data is null. Am i missing out on something here? Kindly help me with this. This works on the emulator but not on the device. Thanks in advance.

This works for me:

   @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
   {
      switch(requestCode) {
         case Flashum.TAKE_MUSIC:
         case Flashum.TAKE_VOICE:
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
            {
               Log.i(Flashum.LOG_TAG, "onActivityResult got new music");
               Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
               try {
                  Uri u = data.getData();
                  String imageUri;
                  try {
                     imageUri = getRealPathFromURI(u);
                  } catch (Exception ex) {
                     imageUri = u.getPath();
                  }
                  File file = new File(imageUri);
                  FragmentFlash fragmentFlash = (FragmentFlash)mTabsAdapter.getFragment("flash");
                  if (fragmentFlash != null)
                     fragmentFlash.gotMusic(file.getPath());
               } catch (Exception ex) {
                  String s = ex.toString();
                  Log.i(Flashum.LOG_TAG, "onActivityResult " + s);
               }
            }
            else
            {
               Log.i(Flashum.LOG_TAG, "onActivityResult Failed to get music");
            }
            break;
      }
   }

   public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
      String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
      Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
      int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
      cursor.moveToFirst();
      return cursor.getString(column_index);
   }
