startActivityForResult from ActivityGroup?

by

I’ve had a similar issue. I had an ActivityGroup managing sub-activities. One of the sub-activities called a similar external intent (external to my app). It never called the onActivityResult within the sub-activity that started it.

I finally figured out/remembered that the issue is because Android will only allow a nested layer of sub-activities…ie sub-activities can’t nest sub-activitites. To solve this:

  1. call getParent().startActivityForResult() from your sub-activity
  2. your parent (the activitygroup) will be able to handle the onActivityResult. So I created a subclass of ActivityGroup and handled this onActivityResult.
  3. You can re-route that result back to the sub-activity if you need to. Just get the current activity by getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity() . My sub-activities inherit from a custom activity so I added a handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data) in that subclass for the ActivityGroup to call.
