Android onActivityResult NEVER called

Question

my onActivityResult method is never called. am using android 2.2

I am using a Tabhost, where TabHosts contain TabGroups which contain individual Activities.

Answer 1

Use the constant values for the Result codes:

Activity.RESULT_OK and Activity.RESULT_CANCELED

You'll see that the value for cancelled is actually 0. So in your code you are checking to see if the activity was cancelled.

change your code to

if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
...
}

Additionally change your Intent action to be:

intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK);

If you do this, you can just call

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
    intent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(intent, 0); 

instead of creating the chooser. It will automatically pick the activities associated with that intent and mimetype and display them to you
