Question

Follow on from a previous question

One first screen activity I am clicking a button and doing this

Intent intent = new Intent(MainMenu.this, NewClass.class);
intent.putExtra("value1", value1);  
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

Value is passed to new activity and is used in the onCreate()-method

On new Activity I am saving the state when I click back button

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    // the UI component values are saved here.
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    Toast.makeText(this, "Activity state saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    //super.onBackPressed();
    Intent intent = new Intent(RoundScoring.this, MainMenu.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
    startActivity(intent);
    Toast.makeText(this, "Back Button Pressed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

On the first screen again I am clicking a different button with the following :

Intent intentContiune = new Intent(MainMenu.this, NewClass.class);
intentContiune.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
startActivity(intentContiune);

The Activty is loaded but always fails as the value has not been set. I wrote a onRestorInstanceState to re-populate the value from the bundle but it is never fired. Can someone say what I am doing wrong

Thanks for your time

UPDATE

@Override
    protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "returnstate called");
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        value = savedInstanceState.getString("value");


    }

Answer 1

Use Application

yourApplication.java

public yourApplication extends Application {
    String Value;
    public synchronized String getValue(){
        return Value;
    }
    public synchronized void setValue(String Value){
        this.Value = Value;
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

<application android:name="yourApplication" ...

Now You can save value anywhere using:

SAVE

((yourApplication) getApplicationContext()).setValue("something");

LOAD

((yourApplication) getApplicationContext()).getValue();
