Answer 1

The thing you are looking for Is passing data between activities. Firstly you should use fragments instead of activity, if you are still willing to use activities then it is answered here

How to send string from one activity to another?

Answer 2

do this

   //make a function updateAdapter() inside your adapter
   public void updateAdapter(/* gets params like TITLES,ICONS,NAME,EMAIL,PROFILE*/){

            // update adapter element like NAME, EMAIL e.t.c. here

            // then in order to refresh the views notify the RecyclerView
            notifyDataSetChanged();
   }

then modify the OnActivityResult method like so

   protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent 
   data) {
           super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 

           if(requestCode==REQUEST_CODE){ 
              if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { 
                NAME=new String(data.getStringExtra("name1")); 
                EMAIL=new String(data.getStringExtra("mail2")); 
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Name " + NAME+" and mailId 
                "+EMAIL+" get", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 

                //do this
                mAdapter.updateAdapter(TITLES,ICONS,NAME,EMAIL,PROFILE);

    } 
 }
