I am having a problem related to saving my Activity state. I searched and read about lots of questions here in SO but I couldn't get an answer for my question.
I have an Activity
A with 2 Fragments
. The Activity
A holds the data which is showed by the Fragments
. When I launch a new Intent
for my settings Activity
the Activity
A is paused (not destroyed), onPause()
and onSaveInstanceState()
methods are called, so I save all my data in onSaveInstaceState()
.
When I return from my settings using back button Activity
A is displayed again but onCreate()
method is not being called because the Activity
was not destroyed, instead onResume()
method is called but I lost the state of my variables in Activity
A and I can't access the Bundle
I saved in onSaveInstanceState()
because onCreate()
is not called.
So onSaveInstanceState()
is only useful when you rotate the screen? How can I access all the data I saved in onSaveInstanceState()
? Or I should save them to a file or SharedPrefs
to access them in onResume()
later?
