    case MENU_EXIT:
        AlertDialog.Builder alt_bld = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        alt_bld.setMessage("Weet je zeker dat je wilt afsluiten?")
        .setCancelable(false)
        .setPositiveButton("Ja", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        System.exit(0);
        }
        })
        .setNegativeButton("Nee", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        //  Action for 'NO' Button
        dialog.cancel();
        }
        });
        AlertDialog alert = alt_bld.create();
        // Title for AlertDialog
        alert.setTitle("Exit");
        alert.show();

    return true;
    }
    return false;
}
}

EDIT:

Here is the code that i want to save things and load things:

@Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        menu.add(2, MENU_SAVE, 2, "Save");
        menu.add(3, MENU_LOAD, 3, "Load");
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case MENU_SAVE:
        Here save the checkboxes
        return true;
    case MENU_LOAD:
        Here load the checkboxes

    return true;

How about SharedPreferences? You can store and load the state and the name of the checkbox in a key:value format. How to use.

E. g. something like this:

// Init 
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings", 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();

// Save
boolean checkBoxValue = v42.isChecked();        
        editor.putBoolean("v42", checkBoxValue);
        editor.commit();;

// Load
v42.setChecked(settings.getBoolean("v42", false));

However you should implement more efficient way, probably a loop through all the checkboxes to read its name or id, which you can call before leaving the activity.
