Answer 1

In order to insert the text from activity2 to activity1, you first need to create a visit function in activity2.

public void visitactivity1()
{
    Intent i = new Intent(this, activity1.class);
    i.putExtra("key", message);
    startActivity(i);
}

After creating this function, you need to call it from your onCreate() function of activity2:

visitactivity1();

Next, go on to the activity1 Java file. In its onCreate() function, create a Bundle object, fetch the earlier message via its key through this object, and store it in a String.

    Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
    String message = b.getString("key", ""); // the blank String in the second parameter is the default value of this variable. In case the value from previous activity fails to be obtained, the app won't crash: instead, it'll go with the default value of an empty string

Now put this element in a TextView or EditText, or whichever layout element you prefer using the setText() function.
