Question

So I have set up part of my app where a user will select up to five things from from spinners (five spinners in total) and right now I have the button sending the selections to a new activity via an intent and they display on a new activity but I want to store the selections to an internal database on the button click and then the user can retrieve their selections from the menu buy pushing the button show data.

 public class IwiSelect extends Activity {

Spinner spinner1, spinner2, spinner3, spinner4, spinner5;
Button btnSubmit; 
String text;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_iwiselect);

    addListenerOnButton();
}
// get the selected drop down list value
  public void addListenerOnButton() {
    spinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
    spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
    spinner3 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner3);
    spinner4 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner4);
    spinner5 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner5);

    btnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);

    btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View view) {

            String text0 = spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString();
            String text1 = spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString();
            String text2 = spinner3.getSelectedItem().toString();
            String text3 = spinner4.getSelectedItem().toString();
            String text4 = spinner5.getSelectedItem().toString();

            //Starting a new Intent
            Intent intent = new Intent(IwiSelect.this, SecondScreenActivity.class);

            //Sending data to another Activity
            intent.putExtra("IWI0", text0);
            intent.putExtra("IWI1", text1);
            intent.putExtra("IWI2", text2);
            intent.putExtra("IWI3", text3);
            intent.putExtra("IWI4", text4);


        // starting new activity
            startActivity(intent);

}
    });

  }
  }

this class sends the data to the new screen.

the class below is my helper class

 public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    // All Static variables
    // Database Version
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

    // Database Name
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "iwi";

    //  table name
    private static final String TABLE_IWI = "iwis";


    //  Table Columns names
    private static final String KEY_ID = "id";
    private static final String KEY_NAME = "iwiname";


    public DatabaseHandler(SecondScreenActivity secondScreenActivity) {
        super((Context) secondScreenActivity, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }

     // Creating Tables
        @Override
       public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        String CREATE_IWI_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_IWI + "("
                + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT,"
                + " TEXT" + ")";
        db.execSQL(CREATE_IWI_TABLE);
    }

    // Upgrading database
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        // Drop older table if existed
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_IWI);

        // Create tables again
        onCreate(db);
    }




    // Deleting single contact
    public void deleteIwi(Iwi iwi) {}


    // Adding new contact
    public void addIwi(Iwi iwi) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(KEY_NAME, iwi.getName());


    // Inserting Row
    db.insert(TABLE_IWI, null, values);
    db.close(); // Closing database connection
    }

    // Getting single contact
    public Iwi getIwi(int id) {
     SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();

     Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_IWI, new String[] { KEY_ID,
         KEY_NAME, }, KEY_ID + "=?",
         new String[] { String.valueOf(id) }, null, null, null, null);
     if (cursor != null)
     cursor.moveToFirst();

     Iwi iwi = new Iwi(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)),
          cursor.getString(1));
     // return contact
     return iwi;
     }


     // Getting All Contacts
       public List<Iwi> getAllIwi() {
     List<Iwi> iwiList = new ArrayList<Iwi>();
     // Select All Query
     String selectQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + TABLE_IWI;

     SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
     Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

     // looping through all rows and adding to list
     if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
      do {
         Iwi iwi = new Iwi();
         iwi.setID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
         iwi.setName(cursor.getString(1));

         // Adding contact to list
         iwiList.add(iwi);
     } while (cursor.moveToNext());
     }

     // return contact list
     return iwiList;
    }

    //Getting contacts Count
    public int getIwiCount() {
    String countQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + TABLE_IWI;
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(countQuery, null);
    cursor.close();

    // return count
    return cursor.getCount();
    }

     // Updating single contact
    public int updateIwi(Iwi iwi) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(KEY_NAME, iwi.getName());


    // updating row
    return db.update(TABLE_IWI, values, KEY_ID + " = ?",
           new String[] { String.valueOf(iwi.getID()) });
   }

    // Deleting single contact
    public void deleteContact(Iwi iwi) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    db.delete(TABLE_IWI, KEY_ID + " = ?",
           new String[] { String.valueOf(iwi.getID()) });
    db.close();
    }

    }

If you want to store these values ; Instead of database , SharedPreferences can be used-

    SharedPreferences prefs = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(
              "com.example.app", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    // To Edit the shared preferences-
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).edit();

     editor.putString("IWI0", text0);
     editor.putString("IWI1", text1);
     editor.putString("IWI2", text2);
     editor.putString("IWI3", text3);
     editor.putString("IWI4", text4);
     editor.commit();

     // To retrieve the data--
     SharedPreferences prefs = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE); 
     String restoredText = prefs.getString("IWI0", null);
     if (restoredText != null) 
     {
       // Do something
     }
