onActivityResult never called

Question

So far, I used the startActivity function with success and now that I need to use the startActivityResult, I have a problem.

When using this function, the activity

Answer 1

android:noHistory="true" 

like

android:launchMode="singleInstance"

will stop onActivityResult from receive result.

Answer 2

There is bug in android API. In startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode); This funktion does work as long as requestCode = 0. However, if you change the request code to anything other than zero, the ApiDemos will fail (and OnActivityResult won't be called). Found here:

Answer 3

In my case, I didn't realize I was calling startActivityForResult from an activity that had the android:noHistory attribute set to true in the manifest. Therefore, the onActivityResult was never called as there was no activity instance anymore.

Answer 4

Did you add the setResult() call in your MoodPicker class ?

Answer 5

My silly mistake. Might help someone.

I kept onActivityResult(...) in another class. It has to be as a method in the class where the startActivityForResult() is called.

Answer 6

I had same problem and solved it: Just remove

android:launchMode="singleInstance"
