How can I implements autosave for EditText ?

I’d recommend something along these lines:

final SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
    .getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

text.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
      public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                                int count)
    {
      prefs.edit().putString("autoSave", s.toString()).commit();
    }

    @Override
      public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                                    int after)
    {
    }

    @Override
      public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
    {
    }
  });
