Android - startActivityForResult immediately triggering onActivityResult

Question

I am launching activities from the main activity in my app using the call startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVITY_TYPE), and they are all working but one.

Answer 1

For ActivityGroup or TabHost and others, maybe the xxxActivity is a subActivity of its parent. Then the startActivityForResult can not work but the parent can get the result.

1. call getParent().startActivityForResult() from your sub-activity

2. your parent (the ActivityGroup) will be able to handle the onActivityResult. So I created a subclass of ActivityGroup and handled this onActivityResult.

3. You can re-route that result back to the sub-activity if you need to. Just get the current activity by getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity() . My sub-activities inherit from a custom activity so I added a handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data) in that subclass for the ActivityGroup to call.
