Pass data from Activity to Fragment in another Activity

Question

I need to pass data from Activity "MainCalendar" to fragment "AddTaskFragment" in Activity "Add". I have a button in a fragment which opens an Activity "MainCalendar", where I select a date in the calendar, and then I need to send this date into a fragment.

When I click on Choose Button, there is opens a MainCalendar, where user need to choose date, after that, the activity closed, and than I want to put a date from MainCalendar to the text of "Choose Button".

MainCalendar Activity:

MainCalendar.class:

public class MainCalendar extends AppCompatActivity {
private CalendarView Calendar;
private String date;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_calendar);
    Calendar = (CalendarView) findViewById(R.id.calendarView);



    Calendar.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSelectedDayChange(@NonNull CalendarView view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
            date = (dayOfMonth+"/"+month+"/"+year);
            System.out.println(date);
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainCalendar.this, Add.class);
            intent.putExtra("DATE_KEY", date);
            finish();
        }

    });
}

Add.class:

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

    BottomNavigationView bottomNav = findViewById(R.id.bottom_nav);
    bottomNav.setSelectedItemId(R.id.add);
    Button notes_button = findViewById(R.id.notes_btn);
    Button tasks_button = findViewById(R.id.tasks_btn);
    Button goals_button = findViewById(R.id.goals_btn);
    RadioButton rb = findViewById(R.id.choose_day_btn);


    String date = null;
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras != null) {
        //The key argument here must match that used in the other activity
        date = extras.getString("DATE_KEY");
    }

    AddTasksFragment frag = new AddTasksFragment();

    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("DATE_KEY", date);
    frag.setArguments(bundle);

    Fragment fragment1 = new AddTasksFragment();
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,fragment1).commit();


    bottomNav.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {

            switch (item.getItemId()){
                case R.id.notes:
                    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Notes.class));
                    overridePendingTransition(0,0);
                    return true;
                case R.id.add:
                    return true;
                case R.id.tasks:
                    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Tasks.class));
                    overridePendingTransition(0,0);
                    return true;
                case R.id.goals:
                    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Goals.class));
                    overridePendingTransition(0,0);
                    return true;

                    startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Statistics.class));
                    overridePendingTransition(0,0);
                    return true;

            }
            return false;
        }
    });

    Fragment fragment = new AddTasksFragment();
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,fragment).commit();

    tasks_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override

            Fragment fragment = new AddTasksFragment();
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,fragment).commit();
        }
    });

    notes_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

There are two ways to do that. The first one is using callback and the second one is using a bundle. In the first-way, you can create an interface and implement in your fragment and pass it to your activity. when users click the date you callback the parameter using this interface. The second-way using bundles like this. in your fragment create a constructor like this and call it in your activity :

public static YourFragment getInstance(obj yourParameter){
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("edttext", "From Activity");
    // set Fragmentclass Arguments
    YourFragment fragobj = new YourFragment ();
    fragobj.setArguments(bundle);
return fragobj;
}

in the onCreate method get obj in this way :

String strtext = getArguments().getString("edttext");
