EditText setText() not working

I am programming an Android Application that Downloads a file by URL. For that I need to send a link from one Activity to another with EXTRA_MESSAGE. Then an EditText should be changed with setText(), but the EditText is still empty. My code:

EditText torul = findViewById(R.id.url);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
torul.setText(message);

Before you answer to do it with:

torul.setText(message, TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);

Tried it, didn't work..

How I add my EXTRA_MESSAGE:

hl.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
        String url = String.valueOf(((TextView) view).getText());
        start(url);
    }
});
private void start(String url) {
    Intent copy = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    copy.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, url);
    startActivity(copy);
}

The problem is that setText() is called in the onCreate() method, which is the first method called when the activity is created. Setting the text should be done in the onResume() method. This fixes the problem.

I think here is problem:

Intent copy = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);

You have to give context of second activity so it should be:

Intent copy = new Intent(MainActivity.this, YourSecondActivity.class);

Instead of this:

String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

use this method in second activity:

String message = getIntent().getExtras().getString(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
