Passing onActivityResult in Cordova

Question

Does Cordova have any automatic way to pass onActivityResult to its CordovaPlugin classes?

Here's my current file, doing it manually:

package com.myapp;

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;

import android.content.Intent;

import com.flyingsoftgames.googleplaytoken.GooglePlayToken;

public class MyApp extends CordovaActivity {

 @Override protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  GooglePlayToken.runOnActivityResult (requestCode, resultCode, data);
 }

 @Override public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate (savedInstanceState);
  super.init ();
  super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
 }
}

I tried to use the same technique employed in https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/blob/master/src/android/CameraLauncher.java to get the data passed through "automatically" -- but it crashes. Here is a working (manual and no data pass-through) and non-working (automatic data pass-through) version of the target class. First working, then non-working.

Working, no data pass-through:

Answer 1

Turns out that all I needed to do was to run cordova.setActivityResultCallback (this); before cordova.getActivity().startActivityForResult (intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT); .

Answer 2

Author has answered the question already but in case someone wants a simpler example, here is what worked for me...

public final int MY_OP = 11;
private CallbackContext callback = null;

@Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException 
{
    if (action.equals("SERVICE NAME")) 
    {
        String param = "";
        try
        {
            param = args.getString(0);
        }
        catch( Exception e )
        {
        }

        callback = callbackContext;

        cordova.setActivityResultCallback (this);

        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setClassName("com.pkg.drs","com.pkg.drs.ActivityToCall");
        intent.putExtra("my_param", param);

        cordova.startActivityForResult (this, intent, MY_OP);
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) 
{
    if( requestCode == MY_OP )
    {
        if( resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data.hasExtra("return_val") )
        {
            PluginResult result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, data.getStringExtra("return_val"));
            result.setKeepCallback(true);
            callback.sendPluginResult(result);
        }
        else
        {
            PluginResult result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "no params returned successfully" );
            result.setKeepCallback(true);
            callback.sendPluginResult(result);
        }
    }
}
