Can't pass data from second Activity to main

Question

I am having a trouble in passing data between Activity2 and ActivityMain. I have ActivityMain with a "Add Person" button. When I press this button, I go to Activity2, after that I fill field Name and press button "Add", but can't to add Name on my ActivityMain.

ActivityMain.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Add Person"
    android:onClick="addPerson"
   />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

ActivityMain.java

package com.example.test.zadanie01;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View; 
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        String message = intent.getStringExtra(PersonActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

        TextView textView = new TextView(this);
        textView.setTextSize(40);
        textView.setText(message);
        setContentView(textView);
}

public void addPerson(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, PersonActivity.class);
    startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
}

Change this part of your code.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
        if (requestCode == 1){
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK){
                String message = data.getStringExtra(PersonActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

                TextView textView = new TextView(this);
                textView.setTextSize(40);
                textView.setText(message);
                setContentView(textView);
            }
        }
}

You don't need to create another Intent in onActivityResult, the Intent is already delivered by the method: Intent data. Then use data as your intent. And before all, check if it is the requestCode you asked and if the result is OK.

EDIT

Answering another part of the question from the comments.

1 - Add a TextView to your activity_main.xml and set its visibility to gone by default.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
 android:id="@+id/text_message"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:textSize="40sp"
 android:visibility="gone" />
<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Add Person"
    android:onClick="addPerson"
   />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

2 - When retrieveng the data message, show the TextView and display the content.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
        if (requestCode == 1){
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK){
                String message = data.getStringExtra(PersonActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

                TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_message);
                textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                textView.setText(message);
            }
        }
}

it works fine, but i see just my message, where is the button from main activity? — Nikita Litvinov, Oct 01 '18 at 11:39

try to replace

String message = intent.getStringExtra(PersonActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

with

String message = data.getStringExtra(PersonActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

in this line setContentView(textView); you replaced the layout by your textview instead you can add textview to your linear layout and in activity result set the textview text with the resulting one – Hazem Ashraf Oct 01 '18 at 11:44
