Really sorry my message was not very detailed. I'm learning Androis and so I confused about a number of things.
PLEASE - download my small sample app from here : http://www.icerge.com/sites/default/files/TriviaQuiz.rar When you start the app you will see the "View Scores" screen, hit the "menu" button and select "settings". The "settings" activity is where the problem is. Now, the nickname EditText is where the problem is. As I understand it, when you enter text and hit return, the code is supposed to check if GAME_PREFERENCES_NICKNAME is set. If it isn't, it is set in the SharedPreferences and if it was previously set output it into the EditText box. So, I enter a nickname and hit return but the text reverts to "INPUT NICKNAME" which was the temporaying in EditText label. Also, when I press menu and settings again, my previous entry is not in the EditText box as I expect it to be. The code is in QuizSettingsActivity.java, the SharedPrefernces information is set in QuizActivity.java and the layout is settings.xml. I would really appreciate your help. I am a bit lost. Thanks.
