Clear variable when Android back button is clicked

Question

I have an app where I would like to be able to click on a button, A, and show a certain set of information. Then click the back button and click on button B and show a different set of information. I have coded a test TextView into the Drinks.java file in order to begin the process by confirming what is being passed along. Currently whatever button I push first is getting stuck in the variable. So for example if I push button A, then push the back arrow and push button B, button A is still showing up in the textView. I tried making the Strings empty within the on click listener, to "clear them out" as it were, but that isn't working. Is there a way to wipe out what is in the variable and reassign something else? Or does my problem lie elsewhere?

Please, use instead for instance the intent sent to the launching Activity:
