OnActivityResult not triggered inside Fragment

Question

I'm calling ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE intent from a fragment, and I've implemented the onActivityResult() in same fragment but the onActivityResult is not triggered while running it with my note2 device. Check the code snippets below that I used.

It worked fine when I am not using

 import android.support.v4

---

• Activity which I open fragment

        public class HomeActivity extends FragmentActivity {
  

• Fragment which I call Camera Intent

       public class SaveCardFragment extends Fragment { 
       private static final int CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 1888;
       ...
  

• Calling Camera Intent

       Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
       startActivityForResult(intent,CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
       ...
  

• Function to detect activity result

      @Override 
      public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 
      super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 
      Log.d("Result", ""+requestCode);
      }
  

• Configuration in AndroidManifest

       <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
       <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/>
       <application
       android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" 
       android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
       >
       <activity android:name=".HomeActivity" android:label="@string/title_activity_home"/>

I'm calling ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE intent from a fragment (...)

That's not quite true. Look at the following line of code:

getActivity().startActivityForResult(SaveCardFragment.this,intent,CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);

Key to notice is that you call startActivityForResult() on the hosting activity (HomeActivity), not the fragment (SaveCardFragment), hence the result is delivered to the activity and not propagated any further. If you want the result to be delivered to the fragment, ensure you call startActivityForResult() on the fragment. In other words, just get rid of the getActivity() prefix:

startActivityForResult(SaveCardFragment.this,intent,CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);

See: Fragment#startActivityForResult
