onSaveInstanceState is not saving my values ( onCreate input Bundle is always null )

Question

Saving bundle (activity A):

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    outState.putString(\"test\", \"value\");
    super.onSaveInst         


        

Answer 1

If navigating to another Activity and coming back, best way is to save it to SharedPreference in the onPause() method, which is bound to execute when a new activity is loaded. On the other Activity, the value can be accessed in onCreate() by accessing the shared preference.
