Hi Damov, Your activity will only be PAUSED if you use Dialog Theme for a PreferenceActivity. For other Themes, it is PAUSED and STOPPED, but not destroyed or killed. So if you want to restore the state you can do it in onResume... so no need to use Theme.Dialog in your case unless it looks good on your app.
