If that * activity then needs to be stopped, upon restarting it will receive its * last saved state in * {@link android.app.Activity#onCreate}.</p> * <p>In this example we are currently saving and restoring the state of the * top text editor, but not of the bottom text editor. You can see the difference * by editing the two text fields, then going to a couple different * applications while the demo is running and then returning back to it. The * system takes care of saving a view's state as long as an id has been * assigned to the view, so we assign an ID to the view being saved but not * one to the view that isn't being saved.</p> * <h4>Demo</h4> * App/Activity/Save & Restore State * <h4>Source files</h4> * <table class="LinkTable"> <tr> <td class="LinkColumn">src/com.example.android.apis/app/SaveRestoreState.java</td> <td class="DescrColumn">The Save/Restore Screen implementation</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="LinkColumn">/res/any/layout/save_restore_state.xml</td> <td class="DescrColumn">Defines contents of the screen</td> </tr> </table> */ public class SaveRestoreState extends Activity { /** * Initialization of the Activity after it is first created.
