Use Intent to pass data from one layout to another. [See intent passing data Link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7325248/6448399) — iub iub, Nov 10 '16 at 04:36

I have same issue. For that try to change your activity to fragment and put in frame and after that use this frame in your activity and that will change your editText Value from button click. For button click of other fragment try to use buttoName.performClick(). Hope this one help you.
