I am having trouble using onActivityResult and cannot figure out why the below code is crashing.
I have a button in my main activity that starts another activity for result.
//---Setting the button for choosing a message---
btn3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// startActivity(new Intent("kurt.steveboss.textChooserView"));
startActivityForResult(new Intent(
"kurt.steveboss.textChooserView"),
request_CodeText);
}
});
This brings up a new view. In this view when a user clicks a button some text inside an EditText is captured and returned to the mainActivity as the result.
//---Setting the button for generating a random message---
btn6.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent data = new Intent();
//Extract the message from the EditText
data.setData(Uri.parse(txtMessage.getText().toString()));
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
//---closes the activity---
finish();
}
});
I then have an onReceive in my mainActivity (there is more than one intent here, this one of course is listenting for the case of “request_CodeText”
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch(requestCode) {
case request_CodeText:
Uri uri = data.getData();
final Button btn3 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnMessage);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
btn3.setText((String) uri.toString());
}
else if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
//no action
}
break;
case request_CodeNumber:
Uri uri2 = data.getData();
Cursor c = null;
try {
c = getContentResolver().query(uri2, new String[]{
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME},
null, null, null);
if (c!= null && c.moveToFirst()) {
String number = c.getString(0);
int type = c.getInt(1);
String contactName = c.getString(2);
showSelectedNumber(type, number, contactName);
}
} finally {
if (c != null) {
c.close();
}
}
break;
}
}
This onActivityResult works to the extent that the button 3 text is updated (so it is working up to that point). But then the app crashes with the following in the LogCat

This is how you are supposed to start the other activity.
instead of
And also on ActivityResult you should check if
resultCode == RESULT_OKanddata is different to null. This will help you from the null exception.
