startActivityForResult from ActivityGroup?

I can't seem to get ANY result when tr开发者_C百科ying to start an activity from an activitygroup. I've put an onactivityresult in the activity and activitygroup? Specifically I'm trying to let the user choose a photo/video from the Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, but I never get anything back? What am I doing wrong?

Here is how I call the code:

Intent pickMedia = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
   pickMedia.setType("video/*");
   startActivityForResult(pickMedia,12345);

Any ideas?

I've had a similar issue. I had an ActivityGroup managing sub-activities. One of the sub-activities called a similar external intent (external to my app). It never called the onActivityResult within the sub-activity that started it.

I finally figured out/remembered that the issue is because Android will only allow a nested layer of sub-activities...ie sub-activities can't nest sub-activitites. To solve this:

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.

In Your Parent Activity

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
    if (requestCode == YOUR_REQUEST_CODE)   {

        CHILD_ACTIVITY_NAME activity = (CHILD_ACTIVITY_NAME)getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity();

        activity.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);}}

So your childern activity's onActivityResult will run.
