//`enter code here`I used shared preferences and it worked.
**in your activity:**

//your field:  public static final String GAME_PREFERENCES = null;

                        String template = selectedItem.getProduct().getName();
            String num = selectedItem.getNumber();
            String id = selectedItem.getId();
            String location = selectedItem.getLocationName();


        SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(GAME_PREFERENCES,
                    MODE_PRIVATE);
            SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = settings.edit();
            prefEditor.putString("template", template);
            prefEditor.putString("num", num);
            prefEditor.putString("id", id);
            prefEditor.putString("location", location);
            prefEditor.commit();

**in your dialog class:**
//In my case I needed to add activity because how i created dialog:

public MyDialog(Context context, int theme) {
        super(context, theme);
        init(context);
    }

    private void init(Context context) {
        setContentView(R.layout.dialog);
        this.context = context;
        final Activity activity = (Activity) context;

              // If you dont call activity you can try context.getpreferences(......)
        SharedPreferences prefs = ((Activity) context)
                .getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

        String template = prefs.getString("template", "");
        String num = prefs.getString("num", "");
        String id = prefs.getString("id", "");
        String location = prefs.getString("location", "");
