I solved this problem with the following code (support library is used):
In container fragment override onActivityResult in this way:
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
List<Fragment> fragments = getChildFragmentManager().getFragments();
if (fragments != null) {
for (Fragment fragment : fragments) {
fragment.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
}
Now nested fragment will receive call to onActivityResult method.
Also, as noted Eric Brynsvold in similar question, nested fragment should start activity using it’s parent fragment and not the simple startActivityForResult() call. So, in nested fragment start activity with:
getParentFragment().startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
