Use onSavedInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState, that's what they're here for. It's not guaranteed if you're app is not in danger of being deleted or if it's shutting down for good. In general though, it will be called when your app is left without being "finished()" and you return to it, if it had to be destroyed to reclaim memory. If you need more persistent storage (like you want those string values to come back as the last thing the user entered, even if they closed the app manually) then you need to save the data to a file and restore it in onCreate() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 4:22 AM, kavitha sunil <[email protected]>wrote: > Could you please elaborate or give me the piece of code if you have already > implemented the same. > As there is no Bundle argument passed to onPause() method. > > I tried using this.getIntent().putExtras(Bundle) in OnPause() and > retrieving the same in onCreate. > But the value is null. > Is this not the right way to do? > > On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 3:48 PM, Nithin <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> You can use bundle in onPause(). onPause() will call all the time, >> whenever the activity lose focus, or when the activity is invisble and >> can restore in onResume() as well. >> >> Nithin >> >> >> On Jan 13, 2:28 pm, Android Developer <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > Is it possible to use bundle and save the data in OnPause() lifecycle >> > method? >> > The scenario is i have 2 edit text and have entered some data >> > i want to retain the data when the activity is killed and started >> > again. >> > >> > This can be achieved using onSaveInstanceState() but as documentation >> > says, this method is not a lifecycle method and hence the callback is >> > not guaranteed. >> > >> > So i wanted to know if there is a way to save it using Bundle in >> > onPause(). >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups "Android Developers" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected]<android-developers%[email protected]> >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en >> > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<android-developers%[email protected]> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en >
