I have a simple app that has three windows, each with a corresponding activity. It's very common to switch back and forth between activities, but of course state gets wiped out of the top-most activity when the user has finished with it, and I want that state to persist. So I have two questions:
1. Currently, I'm persisting the state by saving it to the MODE_PRIVATE SharedPreferences in onStop(), then restoring it in onCreate(). Is this acceptable, or is there a better way to handle it? 2. If it is acceptable, a side effect is that the state now persists between app invocations. Personally I like this, but I haven't seen any guidelines for Android on whether minor settings should persist past the life of the app. Is this a good practice for Android or not? thanks, eric --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
