How to encapsulate a startActivityForResult in a Java class and get the onActivityResult on the Activity that called the method

Im using the next camera code in several activities and I would like to make a class that encapsulate the methods for using the camera in Android.

What I am trying to get is the Activity class be something like:

Public class Myfragment extends Fragment{
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.profile_fragment, container, false);
        mButtonProfilePhoto = v.findViewById(R.id.buttonProfilePhoto);

        mButtonProfilePhoto.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
        //Here I call the camera intent.
            Camera.dispatchTakePictureIntent(getActivity(), mPhotoFile);
            }
            });

    return v;
    }
        @Override
        public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
              //handle the camera result
}

The Camera class looks something like this:

public class Camera{
public static void dispatchTakePictureIntent(Activity activity, File file) {
    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
    if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(activity.getPackageManager()) != null) {
        // Create the File where the photo should go
        file = null;
        try {
            file = Camera.createImageFile(activity);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            // Error occurred while creating the File

        }
        // Continue only if the File was successfully created
        if (file  != null) {
            Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(activity,
                    "com.itcom202.weroom.fileprovider",
                    file );
            takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
            startActivityForResult( takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);


        }
    }
}
}

The issue that I have right now is that I never get a call back from onActivityResult from the fragment.

OS has no support to send onActivityResult() to Fragment's. Support library, though, has a mechanism to do that, that registers the call to a special table in the AppCompatActivity. The trick here is that you have to use Fragment's own startActivityForResult(), not Activity's one.

So, your Camera class code should look like:

public class Camera{

    public static void dispatchTakePictureIntent(Activity activity, Fragment fragment, File file) {
        Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
        if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(activity.getPackageManager()) != null) {
            // Create the File where the photo should go
            file = null;
            try {
                file = Camera.createImageFile(activity);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                // Error occurred while creating the File

            }
            // Continue only if the File was successfully created
            if (file  != null) {
                Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(activity,
                        "com.itcom202.weroom.fileprovider",
                        file );
                takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
                fragment.startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            }
        }
    }

}

Notice last line is using Fragment's startActivityForResult()
