onActivityResult Intent is null when passing Intent from Adapter

Question

I am facing a strange issue while returning to an Activity with a Result, I am passing an Intent for startActivityForResult from an Adapter like this :

Intent i = new Intent(activity, EditInfoActivity.class);
i.putExtra("id", list.get(position).getID());
activity.startActivityForResult(i, 100);

and in second Activity i.e. in EditInfoActivity in my case on a Button click I am setting Result for first activity like this:

Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra("isDataChange", isDataChange);
setResult(100, i);
finish();

In Activity's onActivityResult method I am able to get result code but getting Intent null.

Why? anybody have any idea on this please share.

in Activity:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if (requestCode == 100) {
    //Here data is null and app crash
    if (data.getExtras() != null && data.getBooleanExtra("isDataChange", false)) {
       recreate();
    }
  }
}

First, you need to start the Activity with a REQUEST_CODE:

// Here we set a constant for the code.
private final int REQUEST_CODE = 100;

Intent i = new Intent(activity, EditInfoActivity.class);
i.putExtra("id", list.get(position).getID());
activity.startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_CODE);

Then you need to send RESULT_OK when finishing EditInfoActivity:

Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra("isDataChange", isDataChange);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();

Then handle the result on your first activity with this:

Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  // REQUEST_CODE is defined as 100
  if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == 100) {
     // do process
  }
}
