How to pass a variable from Activity to Fragment in Android?

This example demonstrates how do I pass a variable from activity to Fragment in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:gravity="center"
   android:padding="2dp"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <EditText
      android:id="@+id/editText"
      android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:hint="ENTER YOUR MESSAGE" />
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/btnSendData"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Send data" />
   <FrameLayout
      android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent">
   </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   EditText editText;
   Button button;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
      final FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
      final MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
      button = findViewById(R.id.btnSendData);
      editText = findViewById(R.id.editText);
      button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            Bundle b = new Bundle();
            b.putString("message", editText.getText().toString());
            myFragment.setArguments(b);
            fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.frameLayout, myFragment).commit();
         }
      });
   }
}
Step 4 – Create a new fragment activity and add the following code −
MyFragment.java −
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
   TextView textView;
   public MyFragment() {
   }
   @Override
   public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_my, container, false);
      textView = view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
      Bundle bundle = getArguments();
      String message = bundle.getString("message");
      textView.setText(message);
      return view;
   }
}
fragment_my.xml −
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:gravity="center">
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView"
      android:textSize="30dp"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Step 5 - Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
   </activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer.
