This example demonstrate about How to send data to previous activity in Android
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android = "https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools = "https://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" android:layout_margin = "16dp" android:orientation = "vertical" tools:context = ".MainActivity"> <TextView android:id = "@+id/text_view" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent = "true" android:layout_gravity = "center" /> <Button android:id = "@+id/button" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true" android:layout_gravity = "center" android:layout_marginTop = "16dp" android:text = "Get Data" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.myapplication; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.annotation.Nullable; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.TextView; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private final static int MY_REQUEST_CODE = 1; TextView textView; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view); Button button = findViewById(R.id.button); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class); startActivityForResult(intent, MY_REQUEST_CODE); } }); } @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (resultCode = = Activity.RESULT_OK) { if (requestCode = = MY_REQUEST_CODE) { if (data ! = null) textView.setText(data.getStringExtra("value")); } } } }
Step 4 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_second.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android = "https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools = "https://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" android:layout_margin = "16dp" android:orientation = "vertical" tools:context = ".SecondActivity"> <EditText android:id = "@+id/edit_text" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent = "true" android:layout_gravity = "center" android:hint = "Enter something to return previous activity" android:inputType = "text" /> <Button android:id = "@+id/button" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true" android:layout_gravity = "center" android:layout_marginTop = "16dp" android:text = "Done" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 5 − Add the following code to src/SecondActivity.java
package com.example.myapplication; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.TextView; public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_second); final EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.edit_text); Button button = findViewById(R.id.button); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { String value = editText.getText().toString().trim(); Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.putExtra("value", value); setResult(RESULT_OK, intent); finish(); } }); } }
Step 6 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android = "https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package = "com.example.myapplication"> <application android:allowBackup = "true" android:icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label = "@string/app_name" android:roundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl = "true" android:theme = "@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name = ".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name = "android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name = "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name = ".SecondActivity"></activity> </application> </manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen –
