Using start activity for result in React Native module

Question

I have native module in my React application, I want to navigate the user to the settings

   @ReactMethod
    public void manageStoragePermission() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 30) {
            if (!Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {
                Intent getpermission = new Intent();
                getpermission.setAction(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
                reactContext.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(getpermission);
            }
        }
    }

I want to wait for the result when the user returns after granting/not granting permissions. So I tried to start the activity with startActivityForResult(), but I don't have onActivtyResult() callback in my module. I also saw that startActivityForResult() is deprecated and I should use registerForActivityResult instead, but I also don't have this method in React's native module. What is the correct way to wait for the activity result when dealing with native modules?

I know this is a bit late, but this is how I solved it. Hope this will help others. https://stackoverflow.com/a/75144449/3080858 — Oyvind Habberstad, Jan 17 '23 at 09:56

I think you need to use AsyncTask to handle the request.

public abstract class AsyncTask<Params, Progress, Result> {
    @WorkerThread
    protected abstract Result doInBackground(Params... params);
    @MainThread
    protected void onPreExecute() {
    }
    @SuppressWarnings({"UnusedDeclaration"})
    @MainThread
    protected void onPostExecute(Result result) {
    }
}

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think AsyncTask is deprecated when using api 30 and above. – Keselme Jan 24 '22 at 17:21
Yes it is, However. I think you may consider the alternative approach.Let me share you the link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58767733/the-asynctask-api-is-deprecated-in-android-11-what-are-the-alternatives – Usama Shahid Jan 24 '22 at 17:25
