How do I pass data between activities when I press back button in Android?

Question

I'm trying to send data between activities using:

on Activity 2

Bundle bloc = new Bundle();
bloc.putString("DataLoc", et1.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);

intent.putExtras(bloc);

on Activity 1

Intent iinf = getIntent();
Bundle binf = iinf.getExtras();

if (binf != null) {
  String data = binf.getString("DataInf");
  tv_1.setText(data);
  tv_1.setText(getIntent().getExtras().getString("DataInf"));

}// end if

My Problem

I'm on Activity2 (with Activity1 under Activity2 opened), when I press back button I need show bundle on one TextView, EditText or similar but only I get to show onCreate method.

I try using onResume and onRestart but... impossible.

Any suggestions?

Start second Activity using StartActivityForResult and use onActivityResult in parent Activity for updating TextView using received from second Activity

In Second Activity override onBackPressed() method and call setResult for send data using Intent:

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        Intent data = new Intent();
        // add data to Intent 
        setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, data);
       super.onBackPressed();
}

You can use onActivityResult();

For Sending

Intent in= new Intent();

setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, in);
finish();

For Recieving

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  switch(requestCode) {
    case (abc) : {
      if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
      // your stuff
      }
      break;
    } 
  }

}

I think you are looking for an startActivityForResult() and onActivityResult() methods. Here you can find an example how to use it.

Use 'DataLoc' string to get back the required value in the activity. You must use startActivityForResult() and onActivityResult() methods and get the value back using setResult() method.
