Which: whatever you need to save and restore.

You're not going to find one all-encompassing solution. The basic idea should be along these lines though: * Identify what data you want the user to be able to save and restore. * Implement a save method that writes the relevant data to your DB * Call this when your app is paused / stopped / destroyed * Implement a load method that restores your game state from the saved DB values * Call this when your app is starting up in onCreate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
