How to get the value of ListView and save it in the EditText or something else in another activitiy

There is any activity with an input field, it calls the second activity with ListView. I need to get the value from the ListView and return it to the input field in the first activity. Can not return a value, but the activity switches without errors.

MainActivity

edTAirportchoice1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edText);
    edText.setOnClickListener(this);

public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListActivity.class);
        startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

 @Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (data == null) {
        return;

    } String name = getIntent().getStringExtra("name");
    edText.setText(name);
    }

}

ListActivity

list1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list1);
    list1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, s1));
    list1.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), s1[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            Intent intent = new Intent(ListActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
            intent.putExtra("name", s1[position]);
            setResult(1,intent);        
            finish();

public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(ListActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("name", edText.getText().toString()); //("name", list1.getOnItemClickListener().toString())- the same result
    startActivity(intent);

The right way of sharing some data between 2 activities is:

public static final int REQUEST_LIST = 1;

// Call this to show ListActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_LIST);

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        switch(requestCode) {
            case REQUEST_LIST:
               if (data == null) return;
               String name = getIntent().getStringExtra("name");
               edText.setText(name);
               break;

            default:
               break;
        }
    }
}

Then in ListActivity you need:

list1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list1);
list1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, s1));
list1.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
        resultIntent.putExtra("name", s1[position]);
        setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);        
        finish();
});

Use Intent for this purpose,

From ListActivity to MainActivity

public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(ListActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("name", list1.getOnItemClickListener().toString());
    startActivity(intent);
}

Now in MainActivity to get this value of name ,

String name= getIntent().getStringExtra("name");

Now to set value in your textview of MainActivity ,

txtView.setText(name);

Intent intent = new Intent(); 
        intent.putExtra("name", selectedResult); 
        setResult(1, intent);
