Hi Trekking, If I use onrestoreinstance state then if I started timer say at 00:00:00 it started n its running, and presses on home then I will store the timer value. after some time, for ex I go back to app at 00:56:45 sec if the timer gets killed then I don't get the latest or upated value from restore instance state,if I am not wrong..?

Don't store timer value - store the start time. Then figure out the current value from that. after some time, for ex I go back to app at 00:56:45 sec if the timer gets killed then I don't get the latest or upated value from restore instance state,if I am not wrong..? Yes, you should get the value back that you saved, and from that you can figure out what the elapsed time is. - 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.
