OnActivityResult() Intent data is always null with no reason

Question

First of all:

ALL of the answers of the related questions did not solved my problem, thats why i am creating a new question.

Explanation:

I have a huge android app, i use Eclipse-ADT plugin and i am using a smartphone that have android 4.0.4 to do the tests, i have a lot of Activity's and i pass values between Activity's via Bundle getExtras in onCreate() and too i get some values on onActivityResult's.

Obs:

(1) = Activity A that calls for result -> Activity B

(2) = Activity B that get values from Activity A and returns other values to -> Activity A.

Problem:

I have ProdutosForm.java(1) activity and PedidoItemx.java(2) activity.
Inside ProdutosForm.java(1), i am starting PedidoItemx.java(2) activity to get a result:

Code for item 2:

<!-- language: lang-java -->

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClass(this, PedidoItemx.class);
i.putExtra("CODE", code );

...
... (a LOT of putExtras....)
...

//and after putExtras, thats the relevant part
startActivityForResult(i, 1); //i its the Intent setted as PedidoItemx.class

Inside PedidoItemx.java(2) onCreate method i have:

Code for item 3:

<!-- language: lang-java -->

Bundle extras    = getIntent().getExtras();
code             = extras.getString("CODE");

4. Too, still inside PedidoItemx.java(2) i set some new values and i set the result to RESULT_OK:

Code for item 4

<!-- language: lang-java -->

Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra("PEDIDO", cPedPedido);
i.putExtra("VLRFRETE", valorFrete);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i); //RESULT_OK is a native constant that have value -1
finish();

Now, returning to ProdutosForm.java(1) i have the following onActivityResult code to get the values returned by PedidoItemx.java(2):

Code for item 5:

<!-- language: lang-java -->

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode,Intent data){
    if(resultCode==RESULT_OK && requestCode==1){
      Bundle MBuddle = data.getExtras();
      Intent i = getIntent();
      String cPedidoExtra = MBuddle.getString("PEDIDO");
      i.putExtra("PEDIDO", cPedidoExtra);
      i.putExtra("VLRFRETE", MBuddle.getFloat("VLRFRETE", 0));
      cPedPedido = cPedidoExtra; //this does nothing important
      setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
    }
}

Everything looks OK and should work, but it doesn't. BECAUSE my requestCode is always 0 and my data is always null thats the real problem.

Question:

Why i cant get the data returned from Activity B?? i am doing something wrong?

`Intent i = getIntent();` `getIntent` is not for getting results. Use the argument `data`. — njzk2, Nov 03 '14 at 17:27
i am not trying to get results using getIntent. the data comes null to me always — Paulo Roberto Rosa, Nov 03 '14 at 17:36
In `onActivityResult()` is your REQUEST_CODE = 0 or is your RESULT_CODE = 0? — David Wasser, Nov 03 '14 at 19:20

I figured out the solution for my problem:

I dont know WHY but if i MOVE this piece of code that is actually on buttonClick event on Activity B(2):

Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra("PEDIDO", cPedPedido);
i.putExtra("VLRFRETE", valorFrete);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i); //RESULT_OK is a native constant that have value -1
finish();

To -> right after onCreate, it works ok.

But if i move back this code "to the right place" on a button click, it doesnt work, i really dont know why the activity is having this very weird behaviour, but i'll be happy to share when i figure it out.

In other words, i have to set the extras and the RESULT_OK before doing anything, otherwise it didnt work.

does this help you - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6322874/onactivityresult-has-intent-data-as-null-after-an-activity-has-finished — mrtechmaker, Dec 29 '18 at 13:45

I think you should add an action ACTION_SEND to your intent to return to the other activity. Something like this:

Intent i = getIntent();
**i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);**
i.putExtra("PEDIDO", cPedPedido);
i.putExtra("VLRFRETE", valorFrete);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();

Use:

Intent i = this.getIntent();

instead of

Intent i = getIntent();

in the activity where you need to receive data of the intent, which has the values binded to some keys.
