If you choose to save the Activity state to Shared Preferences, you can check out the GNStateManager component of the library I wrote to make it easy to store and retrieve the required fields of the activity marked my @GNState annotation. It is dead simple to use. Other singleton class object states can be saved too. See here for Setup and Usage information: https://github.com/noxiouswinter/gnlib_android/wiki/gnstatemanager
