I need to assign a value to an element that is in another Activity

I’m trying this way:

MainActivity activityprincipal = new MainActivity();

WebView view = (WebView) activityprincipal.findViewById(R.id.webView);

It can’t be done like this. Explain what you want to achieve with it.

Why don’t you save the loadurl or the webview object and pass it on to another Activity by Intent?

You want to pass an Activity B value to an Activity A (where Activity A is the "first" and Activity B is called by A)?

As stated by @Giulianabezerra in the comment, uses if a Intent to provide links between Activity’s at runtime.

Follow an example:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    public final static String EXTRA_URL = "MainActivity.URL";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }


    public void startActivity(String url) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, OtherActivity.class);
        // Adiconamos a url ao intent...
        intent.putExtra(EXTRA_URL, url);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

In the other Activity, we take the amount :

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_other);

   Intent intent = getIntent();
   String url = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_URL);

  WebView view = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
 view.loadUrl(url);

}
