startActivityForResult onActivityResult in a fragment "not called"

Question

When I call :

private void openGallery() {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    getActivity().startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
            PICK_IMAGE);
}

not execute never this :

@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

And I have also implemented this :

//  @Override
//  public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode) {
//      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
//      super.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
//      
//  }

but still not working.

I have this structure ActionBarAcitivy - > FragmentPagerAdapter -> Fragment - > Fragment - > here startActivityForResult "Fragment"

Note this code extends "Fragment"

THIS POST NOT RESOLVE !

Note after experience :

Not exist any form, I spend 3 days with this issue, and -1 fragments, I put all in a activity (actionbaractivity)

I will not bother to use many fragments, What a programmer can't do is waste time discovering imaginary code.

Did you override `onActivityResult()` in the activity too? That could be interfering with this, unless you call `super.onActivityResult()`. — matiash, Jun 20 '14 at 19:39
I've seen this issue with Child Fragments, is that, by chance, what this fragment is? — jacobhyphenated, Jun 20 '14 at 19:40
check the onActivityResult() of the fragment activity so you can debug...maybe it's going there being consumed...or if it's a dynamic fragment (not declared in the XML) it might be that the fragment isn't attached to the activity anymore when it returns...not sure, the lifecycle of this fragment has to be checked. — Alécio Carvalho, Jun 20 '14 at 22:04
fragment activity ??????? I never talk about activity, I have "Fragment" extends "Fragment" and need call onActivityResult() — , Jun 20 '14 at 22:09

This line is the problem:

getActivity().startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
        PICK_IMAGE);

Instead, you should call this method on the fragment, not on the activity. This allows the system to route the response back to the correct fragment. So simply replace it with this:

startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
        PICK_IMAGE);

There are few key concepts to remember:

nested fragments can't handle the onActivityResult, only first level fragments can (ie the fragments you directly add to activity), details here
you must use fragment.startActivityForResult to get back results in your onActivityResult. If you do activity.startActivityForResult you will never get the results in your fragment
in your onActivityResult methods (all) always call super.onActivityResult

startActivityForResult onActivityResult in a fragment "not called"
