onActivityResult not being called
android, android-activity, android-intent, onactivityresult
Solution
Your problem is here:
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_OK);
Because `RESULT_OK == -1` and passing a negative value as the second parameter to `startActivityForResult` breaks this promise in the method itself (from the Android Developer documentation):
void startActivityForResult (Intent intent, int requestCode)
requestCode `int`: If >= 0, this code will be returned in onActivityResult() when the activity exits.
Problem
The 1st Activity (EditCycle) calls the 2nd activity (EditChooseLists) ``` Intent i=new Intent(EditCycle.this,EditChooseLists.class); startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_OK); ``` The 2nd activity (EditChooseLists) is ended as such ``` Toast.makeText(EditChooseLists.this, list.get(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); Intent i=new Intent(); i.putExtra("desc",content); i.putExtra("content", list.get(position)); setResult(RESULT_OK,i); finish(); ``` The 1st Activity (EditCycle) has the method onActivityResult overridden as such ``` @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode,Intent data){ super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); System.out.print("Test Result !"); String content=data.getExtras().getString("content"); System.out.println("result String"+content); Toast.makeText(EditCycle.this,content, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); TextView t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_editcycle_cropLbl); t.setText(content); } ``` Yet nothing happens when the 2nd activity is resumed, nothing in the console, no toast, textview unchanged I've concluded that the onActivityResult then is not being called Can anyone help ?
