Send data from activity to fragment in Android

Question

I have two classes. First is activity, second is a fragment where I have some EditText. In activity I have a subclass with async-task and in method doInBa

Answer 1

Very old post, still I dare to add a little explanation that would had been helpful for me.

Technically you can directly set members of any type in a fragment from activity.
So why Bundle?
The reason is very simple - Bundle provides uniform way to handle:
-- creating/opening fragment
-- reconfiguration (screen rotation) - just add initial/updated bundle to outState in onSaveInstanceState()
-- app restoration after being garbage collected in background (as with reconfiguration).

You can (if you like experiments) create a workaround in simple situations but Bundle-approach just doesn't see difference between one fragment and one thousand on a backstack - it stays simple and straightforward.
That's why the answer by @Elenasys is the most elegant and universal solution.
And that's why the answer given by @Martin has pitfalls
