I'm working on my first Android app, specifically in this case something to help me cook better. I have 2 activities that I'm currently struggling with, my MainActivity.java and whatCanIMake.java. When I start whatCanIMake from MainActivity using startActivity(intent), I'm able to pass objects using parcelables and generally use whatCanIMake. My issue is that I want to be able to pass back a list of everything that I've changed in my whatCanIMake activity. For example: I pass in a list of all the ingredients I currently have, and then whatCanIMake removes the ingredients that a recipe uses. I'd like to pass back the updated list of remaining ingredients.
The problem I'm having is with startActivityForResult(). Previously I was successfully able to use startActivity(), pass it the intent with the extra parcelables, and Bob's your uncle. When I changed over to startActivityForResult(), the new activity fails to launch, as the app crashes before hitting onCreate(). Obviously this points to my implementation of startActivityForResult(), so I've read basically every stack overflow question related to startActivityForResult() and now I'm here!
My code for starting whatCanIMake is below, as well as the onActivityResult() and corresponding code inside whatCanIMake.
It's just so odd to me that I can simply change out startActivityForResult() for startActivity() and the app works again! Thanks for any help in advance.
MainActivity.java:
public void searchRecipe(View view) {
crossViewVariables.setMakeSort('a');
Intent recipe = new Intent(this, whatCanIMake.class);
recipe.putExtra("Pantry",stock);
recipe.putExtra("Cookbook",activeCookbook);
recipe.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT);
startActivityForResult(recipe,R.integer.search_by_recipe);
//startActivity(recipe);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch(requestCode) {
case (R.integer.search_by_recipe)://comes from Recipe Search?
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bundle b = data.getExtras();
stock = b.getParcelable("Pantry");
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
}
case (R.integer.search_by_ingredient)://comes from Recipe Search?
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bundle b = data.getExtras();
stock = b.getParcelable("Pantry");
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
}
case (R.integer.make_recipe)://comes from seeRecipe?
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bundle b = data.getExtras();
stock = b.getParcelable("Pantry");
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
case (R.integer.edit_pantry):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bundle b = data.getExtras();
stock = b.getParcelable("Pantry");
}
}
}
whatCanIMake.java:
Intent result = new Intent();
result.putExtra("Pantry", stock);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK,result);
finish();
