Android ReactActivity Destroy Prevents Successful OnActivityResult Calls

Description

If a native module opens an activity that redirects out of the application and the application is killed in the background by the Android OS, the react context is lost and the native module's activity is unable to call onActivityResult.

If the redirect from the third party app is back to the activity in the native module, the ReactActivity is not created at this point. When the native activity then sets result and finishes to return back to the ReactActivity the ReactActivity has to start up.

Steps to reproduce

Building the App

cd ReproducerApp
npm install
npm start
npm run android

Reproduction Steps

1. Run the app on an Android device
2. Tap the "Open Activity" button
3. In the second activity, tap "Go to Web" to open Google in a browser
4. Use the following command to forcibly kill the app:

   adb shell am kill com.reproducerapp
   

5. Resume the activity with:

   adb shell am start -n com.reproducerapp/.RedirectActivity -d "redirect://crash"
   

6. Tap "Return Result" in the activity
7. Check logcat for missing "RESULT" and "Completed" logs

Expected Behavior

When returning to the app after it's been killed, the callback should work and you should see "RESULT" and "Completed" in the logs.

Actual Behavior

When the app is killed and then restored, the activity result is processed before React Native is ready. The JavaScript callback is not executed, and you won't see "RESULT" or "Completed" logs, indicating the callback was lost.

必須の ReproducerApp コマンドを使用して、説明されているライフサイクルを再現し、その後 ReactActivity.onActivityResult から ReactActivityDelegate、ReactDelegate、ReactHostImpl.onActivityResult を経由するスタックを追跡します。React コンテキストの準備が整う前に結果が配信されること、および完了したフローによって不足している RESULT と Completed のログが生成されることを確認します。
