Question

What I’m trying to accomplish here is to set the text in a given row as read if the user clicks on it, now I was able to do that by using the onclick method, the problem with it is that it goes away when an intent is fired or the user exits the app. I want the Text to be set up as read permanently. here is my piece of code if anybody can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance:

public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
  LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) v;
  TextView clickedTextView = (TextView) ll.getChildAt(1);
  clickedTextView.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
  StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(strings[position],"<@>");
  for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    coupon = st.nextToken("<@>");
  }
  sharable=st.nextToken();
  Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CouponImage.class);
  i.putExtra("The coupon", coupon);
  i.putExtra("Sharable", sharable);
  startActivity(i);
}

You’ll have to store the read status for each text item, either in a SQLite Database, or in a flat file in Internal Storage.
