[Solved] Update TextView from another Activity

Question

I don’t think there is a good way to do this, as your first activity could get collected by the system, and you generally don’t want to do work after onPause has been called.

I would move that logic that updates the views into a service that runs in the background. Since it sounds like you only need this service while the application is running I would create a bound one.
