you can save location value into SharedPreferences when first time user select location.

see this link for sample example.

So next time when application launch then check the SharedPreferences value and render UI according to SharedPreferences value.

  • thanks for your reply.I just show a simple message like a dialog alert first time(only once at the time of installing the app) and it won't show again whenever we reopen the app i.e.after launching the app a dialog will appear and it shows message like selected location is Washington.Do u want to change the location?if yes go the settings options in my menu,if no stay in that location only.Please help me with an sample example. – user484848 Jul 24 '12 at 04:48

  • public static final String PREFS_NAME = "MyPrefsFile"; SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0); boolean dialogShown = settings.getBoolean("dialogShown", false); if (!dialogShown) { showDialog(DIALOG_ALERT_SELECT_LOCATION); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit(); editor.putBoolean("dialogShown", true); editor.commit(); } Its worked for me. – user484848 Jul 25 '12 at 11:44
