How can I get a result for an intention to share?

Question

I use the following code to share:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getString(R.string.share_text)); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file)); sendIntent.setType("image/png"); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, getResources().getString(R.string.share_via)), REQUEST_SHARE_RESULT); 

And I want to check the result for this intention in my onActivityResult() function. But it always returns Activity.RESULT_CANCELED . Even sharing has been successful. Why???

Answer 1

In your child activity, you must call setResult() before calling finish() ; this is how the child returns its result to the parent onActivityResult() method.

Answer 2

try this example for startActivityForResult (). http://saigeethamn.blogspot.in/2009/08/android-developer-tutorial-for_31.html , http://android.rahulblogs.com/android-startactivityforresult-example/
