onActivityResult() has Intent data as null after an Activity has finished

Question

Hi there I am calling an startActivityForResult() and trying to process the result in the onAcvityResult() method. However, the Intent data is null and result is RESULT_CANC

Answer 1

I looked at the proposed solution and the original question example. In my case , the same error above was reusing the same requestCode value.

Pay attention to your requestCode on using startActivityForResult, each Activity call should have a different requestCode.

If you reuse or don’t pay attention to your requestCode to be unique for each Activity call you will get the following error message:

“onActivityResult() has Intent data as null after an Activity has finished” or ”Failure delivering result ResultInfo”.

Use variable definition for each startActivityForResult,to ensure clarity. ex.

public static final int INITIATIVE_REQUEST = 11

      Use a unique number for each of startActivityForResult.  

Again repeating the same requestCode on multiple Activities will result on the above message.
