Fragments startActivityForResult always return resultCode 0 and intent null on callback onActivityResult
android, android-fragments, android-intent, onactivityresult
Solution
Result code 0 is `RESULT_CANCELLED`.
The resultCode will be RESULT_CANCELED if the activity explicitly returned that, didn't return any result, or crashed during its operation.
Also the common reason of getting this code is a launching an activity in a new task (check your intent and manifest for flags, which lead to the start of a new task).
Also if you have a parent activity, you should set result code of it instead of set result code of its child (try to `getParent` and if it is not null, than set result code of it).
Problem
I searched all over and there are similar posts about it, but can't find a solution! My situation is I have an Activity A that holds a `fragment`, and from that `fragment` I want to start a new `Activity` B that should return some values to the `fragment`. On the `fragment` ``` startActivityForResult(mapIntent, ConstantsUtils.TOMAP_REQUEST_CODE); ``` On the `Activity` B, to return the data ``` Intent returnIntent = new Intent(); returnIntent.putExtra(SerializationConstants.isSearchSaved, mAbItemsShown.ordinal()); setResult (ConstantsUtils.SUCCESS_RETURN_CODE, returnIntent); finish(); ``` On the fragment ``` @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent); switch (requestCode) { case ConstantsUtils.TOMAP_REQUEST_CODE: if (resultCode == ConstantsUtils.SUCCESS_RETURN_CODE) { //do some stuff } } } ``` `onActivityResult` from the `fragment` is successfully called, with the right `requestCode` but `resultCode` is always 0 and intent is always `null`. I have no other `onActivityResult` implementation under `Activity` A. In fact, I also try starting the `activity` from the `fragment` with `getActivity().startActivityForResult(mapIntent, ConstantsUtils.TOMAP_REQUEST_CODE);` and implementing `onActivityResult` on `Activity` A but it happens the same, right `requestCode` but wrong `resultCode` and `intent`. I'm using `Sherlock Action Bar` so my `fragment` is a `SherlockListFragment` so I'm using the `support library (r18)`. Can you help me? Thanks
