setText on button from another activity android

Question

I have a problem, I want to click on the list, calling a new activity and rename the button to another name.

I tried several things, nothing worked, can someone please help me?

My class EditarTimes:

private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener selecionarTime = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView arg0, View arg1, int pos, long id) {
        t = times.get(pos);

        CadastroTimes cad = new CadastroTimes();
        CadastroTimes.salvar.setText("Alterar");
        Intent intent = new Intent(EditarTimes.this, CadastroTimes.class);
        startActivity(intent);


    }

};

public class CadastroTimes extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Time t;
    private timeDatabase db;
    private EditText edID;
    private EditText edNome;
    public Button salvar;

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

        edID = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edID);
        edNome = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edNome);
        db = new timeDatabase(getApplicationContext());
        salvar = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCadastrar);
        salvar.setText("Cadastrar");
        String newString;
        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
            if(extras == null) {
                newString= null;
            } else {
                newString= extras.getString("Alterar");
            }
        } else {
            newString= (String) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("Alterar");
        }

        //button in CadastroTimes activity to have that String as text
        System.out.println(newString + " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA");
        salvar.setText(newString);
    }

    public void salvarTime(View v) {
        t = new Time();
        t.setNome(edNome.getText().toString());

        if (salvar.getText().equals("Alterar")) {
            db.atualizar(t);
            exibirMensagem("Time atualizado com sucesso!");
        } else {
            db.salvar(t);
            exibirMensagem("Time cadastrado com sucesso!");
        }

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, EditarTimes.class);
        startActivity(intent);

    }


    private void limparDados() {
        edID.setText("");
        edNome.setText("");
        edNome.requestFocus();
    }

Answer 1

You can pass the button caption to CadastroTimes with intent as

Intent intent = new Intent(EditarTimes.this, CadastroTimes.class);
intent.putExtra("buttontxt","Changed Text");
startActivity(intent);

Then in CadastroTimes.java set the text of the button to the new value that you passed. The code will look like:

button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button); // This is your reference from the xml. button is my name, you might have your own id given already.
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String value = ""; // You can do it in better and cleaner way
if (extras != null) {
    value = extras.getString("buttontxt");
}
button.setText(value);

Do remember to do it in onCreate after setContentView

Answer 2

//From Activity
Intent intent = new Intent(EditarTimes.this, CadastroTimes.class);
intent.putExtra("change_tag", "text to change");
startActivity(intent);

//To Activity

public void onCreate(..){

    Button changeButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.your_button);
    // Button to set received text
    Intent intent = getIntent();

    if(null != intent && 
             !TextUtils.isEmpty(intent.getStringExtra("change_tag"))) {


        String changeText = intent.getStringExtra("change_tag");
        // Extracting sent text from intent
        
        changeButton.setText(changeText);
        // Setting received text on Button

     }
}

1: Use intent.putExtra() to share a value from one activity another activity, as:

In ActivityOne.class :

startActivity(
    Intent(
        applicationContext, 
        ActivityTwo::class.java
    ).putExtra(
        "key", 
        "value"
    )
)

In ActivityTwo.class :

var value = ""
if (intent.hasExtra("key")
    value = intent.getStringExtra("key")

2: Modify button text programatically as:

btn_object.text = value

Hope this will help you
