Thanks for ur replay.
I got one way to solve my problem and it resembels your solution.What i did is i made my EditText as static.Whenever oncreate() is called i check EditText for previous version of instance,if at all previous EditText was there i am getting it's data using EditText's standard way EditText.getText().toString().It is working up to the mark in all three situations ,when orientation is changed, "Home" button pressed and "BACK" button is pressed. But the thing i think , i am not using properly is onSaveInstanceData (),onRestoreInstanceData().Because those methods are standard ones.Moreover there should be some reason why they are there. My question is , Am i doing correct?? Is there any standard way to retain EditText data when "BACK" button is pressed.Why onSaveInstanceData() call back is not called when "BACK" pressed.I have seen "google" home web page on android has on "EditText" to accept data and it is retaining data in all the three senarios. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -Siva. On Sep 1, 11:56 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > I would suggest instead saving the data in onPause() and restoring it in > onCreate().
