      "+EMAIL+" get", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            //  mAdapter = new MyAdapter(TITLES,ICONS,NAME1,EMAIL1,PROFILE);

        }
   }
}

Answer 1

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);

    } 
 }
