Answer 1

With fragments it isn't even as simple as onActivityResult() being called before the call to onResume(). If the activity that you are returning to was disposed of in the interim, you will find that calls to (for example) getActivity() from onActivityResult() will return null. However, if the activity has not been disposed of, a call to getActivity() will return the containing activity.

This inconsistency can be a source of hard-to-diagnose defects but you can check the behaviour of your application by enabling the developer option "Don't keep activities". I tend to keep this turned on - I'd rather see a NullPointerException in development than in production.
