onActivityResult is never called in TabActivity

Question

I know there are tons of the same questions, but still OnActivityResult is not being called.

This is my code

Activity A:

        Intent i = new Intent();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putString(ActivityB.LINK, ad.getLink());
        i.putExtras(b);
        i.setClass(this, ActivityB.class);
        startActivityForResult(i, 0);

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {
        /*handling of result...*/
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

Activity B :

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.ad_video);
    Bundle b = this.getIntent().getExtras();
    setResult(0);
    link = b.getString(LINK);
    videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
     videoView.setVideoPath(_link);
     videoView.requestFocus();
     videoView.start();
     videoView.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
        {
            setResult(0);
            ActivityB.this.finish();
        }
    });
}

Whatever i do, OnActivityResult is never called. Based on other questions

i put the setResult with values > 0 (0,99)
in android manifest there is no launchMode (I also tried to put launchMode to standard)

Thank you for any help

You sure you don't enter onActivityResult? Also try not to use 0, shouldn't really be a problem, but I always avoid it in my codes. (as result/request code) — Anders Metnik, Jul 31 '12 at 11:48
Yes I'm sure, i also tried setResult(99) same issue, my activity is an activity of tabActivity, if this can cause a problem — Dany Y, Jul 31 '12 at 11:53
That matters, you don't finish the activity if you change between tabs AFAIK. — Anders Metnik, Jul 31 '12 at 12:02
i changed it also in requestCode, activityA is a tab, but activityB is just an activity called inside it. — Dany Y, Jul 31 '12 at 12:53
You say you are calling from a tab activity. Have you looked at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6677466/stuck-with-getting-camera-pic-when-using-the-tab-activity/6679665#6679665 ? — David Wasser, Aug 03 '12 at 18:46

Try adding an intent to the result, this code works for me:

Intent in = new Intent(); 
setResult(101, in);
finish();

Try below code

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("ProfilePicPath", path);
setResult(RESULT_OK, returnIntent);
finish();

Ok i got it, The main issue was that i called the activtiy from within the tab host. I called it from the Activity that contains the tabs (the one that extends TabActivity) and it works.

So in brief, even though i'm using each tab as an activity,
the one that should call the startActivityForResult is the main activity that extends TabActivity.

Thank you all for your help

On the child activity, I used it on the child activity

getParent().startActivityForResult(intent, positive_request_code);
