onActivityResult yields null Intent

Question

In this case two activities A and B should interact in that way that A calls B for a result.

But A never gets any data back from B.

This code looks like any tutorial or SO question I have seen.

The debugging session confirmed that setResult is called.

This problem is robbing me of my motivation, would be nice if someone could point out what I am missing.

EDIT: The code doesn't work when executed on my physical target device, but runs find on a nexus 5 device. What could I try to find out why?

        Intent in = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
        in.putExtra("mau", "bar");
        startActivityForResult(in, 1);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // data is null ;(
        Toast.makeText(this, String.valueOf(data), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Answer 1

Works for me. (Same layouts and Manifest).

Main

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static final int MAIN_REQUEST = 1;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent in = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
        in.putExtra("mau", "start 2nd");
        startActivityForResult(in, MAIN_REQUEST);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (requestCode == MAIN_REQUEST) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, data.getStringExtra("foo"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }
}

Second

public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

        Intent sent = getIntent();
        if (sent != null) {
            Toast.makeText(SecondActivity.this, sent.getStringExtra("mau"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        setResult(RESULT_OK,  new Intent().putExtra("foo", "finish 2nd"));
        finish();
    }
}
