android - onActivityResult() not called when Activity started from Fragment

Question

I have an issue with importing a picture from the Album in Android, because the onActivityResult() method is never called.

This is the code that I wrote (called from a fragment not an activity):

Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,  android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
getActivity().startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE);

And by the way, I have defined the onActivityResult() but it's never triggered:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult"); // not printed
}

Any idea what's wrong with this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

To have onActivityResult() called in the fragment, you should call the fragment's version of startActivityForResult(), not the activity's. So in your fragment's code, replace

getActivity().startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE);

with

startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE);
