onActivityResult for Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS) called immediately

Question

In my splash screen I have request to server, but when there's no internet connection i'm opening

Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS);
startActivityForResult(settingsIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_CONNECTION);

But problem is that onActivityResult is called immediately with requestCode = REQUEST_ENABLE_CONNECTION

I've also tried to add the flag FLAG_NEW_TASK for the intent with no luck.

The activity is not singleTop or singleInstance in the manifest.

What is the best android solution to resolve this issue? I don't want to use Broadcast as it's not the best way to my flow so it will be taken as last choice for me.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Answer 1

If the onActivityForResult isn't working well for you (as @CommonsWare suggested, it's fine) you can create a simple flow that should work fine:

In your activity, add

private boolean isReturnedFromSettings = false;

When you decide there's no internet connection and want to open the settings activity, use startActivity and set isReturnedFromSettings = true;

In your Activity's onResume, add this:

if (isReturnedFromSettings) {
isReturnedFromSettings = false;

//DO WHATEVER
}

Should work...

There is no issue. The activities of the settings app are not documented to support startActivityForResult(), and the main activity (Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS) does not offer it at all.

Add this to your intent:

 intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

Answer 4

I found a workaround: in my intent

activity.startActivityForResult(intent,REQUEST_SYSTEM_WRITE_PERMISSION);
testDelaydRingtoneSetting(mUri, mCallback);

and here the trick:

private void testDelaydRingtoneSetting(Uri mUri, KrollFunction mCallback) {
        final Uri ringtoneUri = mUri;
        final KrollFunction callback = mCallback;
        final Context context = TiApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext();
        new android.os.Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            if (Settings.System.canWrite(context)) {
                Activity activity = TiApplication.getInstance()
                        .getCurrentActivity();
                activity.finishActivity(REQUEST_SYSTEM_WRITE_PERMISSION);
                setRingtone(ringtoneUri, callback);
            } else
                testDelaydRingtoneSetting(ringtoneUri, callback);
        }
    }, 1000);
}

please try this. Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS); startActivity(settingsIntent);
