Steps to use BaseActivity in your project.

1. Crate a project(BaseActivityDeleteDemo) in android studio.
   
   
2. Create a Activity Activity1.Java and update it-
   
   
   

   package com.pankaj.mmm;
   import android.content.Intent;
   import android.os.Bundle;
   import android.view.View;
   import android.widget.Button;
   import android.widget.Toast;
   public class Activity1 extends BaseActivity {
       private Button btnGetSelectedTag1;
       @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           setContentView(R.layout.activity1);
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           //initialization
           btnGetSelectedTag1 = findViewById(R.id.btnGetSelectedTag1);
           //Add Listeners
           btnGetSelectedTag1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
               @Override
               public void onClick(View v) {
                   String message = "";
                   for (String data : getSelectedTagList()) {
                       if (!data.isEmpty())
                           message += data + "\n";
                   }
                   message.trim();
                   Toast.makeText(Activity1.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
               }
           });
       }
       public void openSecondActivity(View view) {
           Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
           startActivity(intent);
       }
   }
   
   
   

    
3. Create a xml activity1.xml and update it-
   
   
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"
       tools:context="com.pankaj.mmm.BaseActivity">
   
       <LinearLayout
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"
           android:orientation="vertical">
   
           <include layout="@layout/tag_layout" />
   
           <LinearLayout
               android:layout_width="match_parent"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content">
   
               <Button
                   android:id="@+id/btnGetSelectedTag1"
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_weight="1"
                   android:imeOptions="actionNone"
                   android:text="Show entered Data" />
   
               <Button
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_weight="1"
                   android:imeOptions="actionNone"
                   android:onClick="openSecondActivity"
                   android:text="Open Second Screen" />
   
           </LinearLayout>
       </LinearLayout>
   </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
   
   
   

    
4. Create a activity Activity2.Java and update it-

       @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           setContentView(R.layout.activity2);
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           //initialization
           btnGetSelectedTag2 = findViewById(R.id.btnGetSelectedTag2);
           //Add Listeners
           btnGetSelectedTag2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
               @Override
               public void onClick(View v) {
                   String message = "";
                   for (String data : getSelectedTagList()) {
                       if (!data.isEmpty())
                           message += data + "\n";

               }
           });
       }
   }
   
   
   

    
5. Create a interface CallBack.Java and update it-
   
   
   

   package com.pankaj.mmm;
   /**
    * Created by pankaj on 7/12/17.
    */
   
   public interface CallBacks {
   
       //to get event on select item
       void onSelected(String s);
   
       //to get event on delete item
       void onDeleted(int rowPosition);
   
       //to get event on done/enter click
       void onDone(String s);
   }
   
   
   

    
   Create a xml activity2.xml and update it-

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

   </LinearLayout>
   
   
   

    
9. Create a xml tag_layout.Java and update it-
   
   
   
   
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content">
   
       <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
