How to send Data from one fragment to other, both hosted by different activities?

I have Fragment A hosted by Activity A and Fragment B hosted by Activity B. Fragment A calls Activity B. I want to send data back to Fragment B to Fragment A. I tried overriding setResult but it didn't work.

Use https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/LocalBroadcastManager.html then anything that needs to know what happened can register a receiver for it.

From your FragmentA call the ActivityB using startActivityForResult() method

For example:

Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), ActivityB.class);
startActivityForResult(i, 12345);

In your ActivityB set the data which you want to return back to ActivityA. If you don't want to return back, don't set any.

For example: In ActivityB if you want to send back data:

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("result",result);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK,returnIntent);
finish();

If you don't want to return data:

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, returnIntent);
finish();

Now in your FragmentA class write following code for the onActivityResult() method.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (requestCode == 12345) {
        if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
            String result=data.getStringExtra("result");
        }
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
            //Write your code if there's no result
        }
    }
}//onActivityResult
