setResult does not work on @EActivity

I am trying to setResult on my "Register" Button, but nothing happens:

SignInActivity:

Start activity for result:

Intent intent = RegisterActivity_.intent(this).get();
this.startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_USER_REGISTER);

On Activity Result

@OnActivityResult(REQUEST_CODE_USER_REGISTER)
protected void onResult(int resultCode) {
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
        DashboardActivity_.intent(this).start();
    else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
        this.showDialogAlert("Unexpected error", null);
}

RegisterActivity:

this.setResult(RESULT_OK);

I am using AndroidAnnotations and I'm not using the this.finish() method because it set the property android:noHistory="true" in all Activities on AndroidManifest.xml. I am also setting the parent of each activity there. Have tried to remove these settings and setResult continued without work. Has anyone experienced this?

Solution

  • I am using AndroidAnnotations and I'm not using the this.finish() method because it set the property android:noHistory="true"in all Activities on AndroidManifest.xml.

    I think your issue is here. When you're using startActivityForRestult, the expected workflow is to launch a new activity, do some work and then close this activity to go back to the previous one with the result of the work. So, you can't use android:noHistory="true" here because it doesn't make any sense.

    Also, if you look at Activity's source code, you'll see that result is propagated from the finish method.
