Is there a way to configure android app to receive activity result between onStart and onStop?

Issue

I see very odd sequence of events when compared to Android lifecycle overview. My app calls other activity (file selector) and waits for the result. Such events happen:

• my app calls StartActivityForResult (file selector shows up)
• OnStop is called
• OnActivityResult is called
• OnStart is called

The last two events looks like mixed order to me, because technically my app works (code inside OnActivityResult) while being stopped. It even sounds weird :-).

Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to configure my app/activity for "correct" order -- i.e. first being woke up and then get OnActivityResult?

Gingerbread 2.3 if this matters.

Solution

The order is correct.When OnStop is called,you will on the second activiy.At this time,OnActivityResult is not called,it was a callback when you do something like SetResult and finish the second activity,then the first activity will handle OnStart method.
