How save spinner data using sharedPreferences and How that data load in that spinner after reopening of the activity?

Assuming you already have the data from the spinner, try:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putString(key, value_obtained_from_spinner);
editor.commit();

In onCreate(), onStart(), or onResume(), you'll need something like:

String value = prefs.getString(key);
int pos = adapter_tied_to_spinner.getPosition(value);
spinner.setSelection(pos);

I have used the above code in my activity but nothing append anything. :( Can you give me the activity? Cause I am new in Android. And What is "key, value_obtained_from_spinner"? Cause I have created the the spinner programmatically.

I don't have an activity. I just pulled that code off the top of my head.

See [here](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.Editor.html#putString\(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)).

Any reason why?
