You set the text to a field that was rendered in another instance of your activity residing in cash say when it was landscape oriented  Then it was recreated due to some reason  You need to set the text in an unusual way by saving the string to SharedPreferences and force relaunch the activity using recreate     say for mOutputText    Override protected void onResume         super onResume        String sLcl mPreferences getString  response           if  sLcl isEmpty             mOutputText setText sLcl           mPreferences edit   putString  response      commit             private void changeText         mPreferences edit   putString  response  responseText  commit        recreate       Override protected void onActivityResult          int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data       switch  requestCode            case CAPTURE MEDIA RESULT CODE              if  null    data    null    data getData                     showMessage  Sorry  You didn t save any video                  else                   videoUri   data getData                    mProgress   new ProgressDialog this                   mProgress setMessage  Uploading onYoutube                         authorizeIt      SAY YOU CALL THE changeText   at the end of this method                           break
