onActivityResult() not called - startActivityForResult()

in Android Processing • 1 year ago

I've made a small android application allowing the user to select a soundfile which plays in the background of the sketch.
Well, I'm using this code:

void loadSoundFile() {

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent,FILE_REQUEST_CODE);

}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
      super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
             println("ok");
      } else {
             println("damn - its not working");
      }
}

The file picker successfully launches and I can pick a sound file… But onActivityResult() is not called when returning from an external application (like the Android musiclibrary). If I use an application that just overlays over my sketch (like the WhatsApp soundrecorder) onActivityResult() is called and I can process the returned data. Some guys on Google figured out that it might be a problem with Processing running as an Activity - not as a Fragment.

Did anyone stumbled upon this problem before? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you need to make onActivityResult() public?
It don't think it'll get called by the native activity management unless it's public...

I don't think so. Eclipse will indicate an error if we use @Override with the wrong signature, and it yells if we lower the visibility of an overridden method. So, I suppose the original method is defined as protected.

Anybody got a solution for this? I'm desperate!

I need to get the path for a photo from the gallery (using Intent.ACTION_PICK).

The processing application resumes fine after I pick the photo, but onActivityResult() is not called.

P.S: btw, if I press back at the chooser dialog and cancel it, onActivityResult() will be called.

I'm also looking for a solution for this, but without success so far. I get the same results as zahand - it calls onActivityResult() after pressing back on the chooser dialog, but not after I select an image.

Did anyone manage to get this to work?

import android.content.Intent;
import apwidgets.*;
APWidgetContainer widgetContainer;
APButton button;
Intent mediaChooser;
void setup(){
widgetContainer = new APWidgetContainer(this);
button = new APButton(10, 10, "Select File");
widgetContainer.addWidget(button);
mediaChooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
mediaChooser.setType("video/*, images/*");
}
void draw(){
}
void onClickWidget(APWidget widget){
if(widget == button){
startActivityForResult(mediaChooser, 1);
}
}
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
println(requestCode);
}

this could be a start :
need to be improved (it would be nice if you cold post a code that output the path juste once…) ;)

import android.content.Intent;
import apwidgets.*;
public String FilePath;
APWidgetContainer widgetContainer;
APButton button;
Intent mediaChooser;
void setup() {
widgetContainer = new APWidgetContainer(this);
button = new APButton(10, 10, "Select File");
widgetContainer.addWidget(button);
mediaChooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
mediaChooser.setType("video/*, images/*");
}

void draw() {

println(FilePath);
}

void onClickWidget(APWidget widget) {
if (widget == button) {
startActivityForResult(mediaChooser, 1);
}
}

@Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FilePath = data.getData().getPath();
}
