Show DialogFragment from onActivityResult

Question

I have the following code in my onActivityResult for a fragment of mine:

onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
   //other code
   P         


        

Answer 1

I believe it is an Android bug. Basically Android calls onActivityResult at a wrong point in the activity/fragment lifecycle (before onStart()).

The bug is reported at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36929762

I solved it by basically storing the Intent as a parameter I later processed in onResume().

[EDIT] There are nowadays better solutions for this issue that were not available back in 2012. See the other answers.
