Why is onActivityResult() Intent data equal null?

Null intent in onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)

• I'm starting an Activity for result. And on that Activity's onBackPressed() event I'm setting the intent and result. @Override public void onBackPressed() { super.onBackPressed(); Intent intent = new Intent(BrowseSome.this, ConfigurationSome.class); intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("SomeList", somethings); setResult(RESULT_OK, intent); } But in my onAcivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) I'm getting null Intent. Why is it so? Earlier is used to do this on a Button click event and it worked fine. But i have removed this button from the activity and now i want the result to be set onBackPressed() event. -Thanks

• Answer:

  your call to super.onBackPressed(); is preventing the code below it from being called (it calls finish() on your activity). Try rearranging your code to: @Override public void onBackPressed() { Intent intent = new Intent(BrowseSome.this, ConfigurationSome.class); intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("SomeList", somethings); setResult(RESULT_OK, intent); super.onBackPressed(); }
