How to return data from activity to Cordova plugin

I have written Cordova plugin to call a Cordova activity

Intent intent=new Intent(cordova.getActivity() , AndroidCamera.class);
cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);

I want to return some data from this Android camera activity to my plugin so I can send back it to JavaScript.

All CordovaPlugin comes with Callback by default

If you are making a CordovaPlugin you extends CordovaPlugin class. CordovaPlugin class comes with onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) method which you can override in your plugin to get result.

Here is a generic Code Sample

public class MyCordovaPlugin extends CordovaPlugin{

     private int MY_REQ_CODE = 1000;

     public void someMethod(){
          Intent takePicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
          cordova.getActivity()startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, MY_REQ_CODE);
     }

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

       if (requestCode == MY_REQ_CODE) {
           // Do you thing with Data
           log.d("MY_TAG", data);
        
       }
    }

}

call your activity in Activity for result, 

 public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        Log.i(TAG, "*****  result from camera" + requestCode + " *****  " + resultCode);
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if (bitmap != null) {
                     callbackContext.success(base64Image);
              }
        }

I am converting Bitmap into Base64 image and sending to server via success method. It's working perfectly

See the Android platform guide on Cordova documentation. There is nice example that echos the message back. 

callbackContext.success(message);

where callbackContext is the CallbackContext provided as parameter for execute of your plugin.

Also if you want to indicate that error happened, you can call

callbackContext.error("Expected one non-empty string argument.");
