Why is the app closing suddenly without showing any error?

Question

What my app does? The app is selecting a photo from photos Gallery.

What is my problem? Once I select the photo from gallery it closes up without error.

What I have done? I've increased the memory of the device and it didnt function. I took it out from proyect and the activity worked fine, it came back to the activity.

What is the main problem? It doesn't function on the proyect and I cant tell why.

Wold you like to see what is happening? Here is a video. First when it closes up, and second when I do it from another project and works fine.

EDIT

My problem was that once I choose the picture from the gallery there was no activity on the stack.

Why?

The problem was on manifest's android:noHistory="true" tag, as there was no history the gallery couldn't find any activity and it closed the app.

The code:

The Intent I use to open the gallery and select a photo:

public void openGallery(int req_code){

   Intent intent = new Intent();
   intent.setType("image/*");
   intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
   startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select file to upload "), req_code);
}

The onActivityResult where I get the data which is never called because it closes up:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
        if (requestCode == SELECT_FILE1)
        {
            selectedPath1 = getPath(selectedImageUri);
            System.out.println("selectedPath1 : " + selectedPath1);
        }
        if (requestCode == SELECT_FILE2)
        {
            selectedPath2 = getPath(selectedImageUri);
            System.out.println("selectedPath2 : " + selectedPath2);
        }
        tv.setText("Selected File paths : " + selectedPath1 + "," + selectedPath2);
    }
}

Answer 1

Ok Guys, first of all thank you very much for your answers, they helped me to keep going today..

The problem was on manifest's android:noHistory="true" tag, as there was no history the gallery couldn't find any activity and it closed the app.

Again, thank you all.

Answer 2

// Sorry, don't have enough reputation to comment accepted answer, but I guess my case will be helpful for others with the same issue

I had exactly the save issue in code written by another developer and struggled with it for a couple of days. But there was no android:noHistory attribute in manifest, but activity was launched with the flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY.

Like this:

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);

I googled for it for hours, reached this SO question twice, but found out an answer only when decided to search my whole project for word "history".
