Display words in a recyclerview from a second activity

Question

I am trying to display a word from a second activity to my main activity which is inform of a recycler view with a textview item.

I have created my adapter and I am assuming it works fine the only problem is once I launch my floating button to access my display word activities it does not display on the main activity, what am I doing wrong, I am new to Android.

My Adapter :

public class RoomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RoomAdapter.RoomViewHolder> {

private List <RoomPojo> word;


public RoomAdapter(List <RoomPojo> word1){
    this.word = word1;

}
    @NonNull

    @Override
    public RoomViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

        View layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.word_item,parent,false);

        return new RoomViewHolder(layoutInflater);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RoomViewHolder holder, int position) {

        holder.wordTextView.setText(word.get(position).getWord());
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return word.size();
    }

    public class RoomViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        private TextView wordTextView;
        public RoomViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);

            wordTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.display_word);

        }
    }
}

Here is my Main activity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    private  RoomAdapter roomAdapter;
    public static final int NEW_WORD_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.rv_word);

        recyclerView.setAdapter(roomAdapter);
        LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);

        FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = findViewById(R.id.fab);
        floatingActionButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DisplayWord.class);
                String word = getIntent().getStringExtra(DisplayWord.EXTRA_KEY);
                startActivityForResult(intent,NEW_WORD_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
            }
        });
    }



}

Here is my display word which has a button and a edit text which should take just one string.

public class DisplayWord extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static final String EXTRA_KEY = "key";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_word);

        final EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.word_edit_text);
        Button button = findViewById(R.id.word_button);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent replyIntent = new Intent();
                if(TextUtils.isEmpty(editText.getText())){
                    setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, replyIntent);
                }else {
                String word = editText.getText().toString();
                replyIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_KEY,word);


                }

                finish();
            }
        });


    }
}

Your code should be like this :

       button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent replyIntent = new Intent();
            if(TextUtils.isEmpty(editText.getText())){
                setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, replyIntent);
            }else {
            String word = editText.getText().toString();
            replyIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_KEY,word);
            setResult(RESULT_OK, replyIntent); //missing
            }

            finish();
        }
    });

Then After handle it in MainActivity.java

    @Override
      protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    try {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE  && resultCode  == RESULT_OK) {

            String requiredValue = data.getStringExtra(DisplayWord.EXTRA_KEY);
        }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Toast.makeText(Activity.this, ex.toString(),
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}
