My Android app is closing after selecting a photo from Gallery. (There is a video of the bug on the post)

Thanks for your time. I am doing an app where I launch the Gallery from and activity A select an image and comeback to the same activity A.

I am doing it with no problem from a proyect with a single Activity (which is defined as launcher on Manifest) but it is not working properly when I do it from the whole proyect from the an Activity defined on manifest as default.

The Intent I use to open the gallery and select a photo:

public void openGallery(int req_code){

   Intent intent = new Intent();
   intent.setType("image/*");
   intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
   startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select file to upload "), req_code);
}

The onActivityResult where I get the data (which is never called when I executed from the hole project):

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
        if (requestCode == SELECT_FILE1)
        {
            selectedPath1 = getPath(selectedImageUri);
            System.out.println("selectedPath1 : " + selectedPath1);
        }
        if (requestCode == SELECT_FILE2)
        {
            selectedPath2 = getPath(selectedImageUri);
            System.out.println("selectedPath2 : " + selectedPath2);
        }
        tv.setText("Selected File paths : " + selectedPath1 + "," + selectedPath2);
    }
}

This is the logcat dump:

01-05 15:18:32.010: D/dalvikvm(112): GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 9994 objects / 476368 bytes in 149ms

To finish, I recorded the behaviour of the emulator first from the whole project (which quits the app) and second from the separated proyect which works fine.

Remove android:noHistory="true" attribute from your manifest file Like below :

 <activity
        android:name=".YourActivity"
        android:noHistory="true"   <-------------------Remvoe this line
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"/>

Now Original code will be like this :

 <activity
        android:name=".YourActivity"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"/>

Now, It will work perfect. Enjoy.

I have the working code which launches Gallery for picking image with following code:

static final int GALLERY_RESULT = 1;

Intent j = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
j.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(j, GALLERY_RESULT);

and I handle the result as follows:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        switch (requestCode) {
            case GALLERY_RESULT:
                Uri imgUri = intent.getData();
                imgView.setImageURI(imgUri);
            break;
        }
    }
}
