How to save points after popup close and avoid repetition from SQLite?

Question

I have 36 imageButtons and with each one I call the same popup in which I set random question from sqlite database. When user answers question by clicking one of the 4 possible solutions it closes and goes back to my 36 buttons. Now here I have 2 problems:

1. I use this code to avoid repeating questions. In activity scope:

   LinkedList mAnsweredQuestions = new LinkedList();

   private String generateWhereClause(){
       StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
       for (Long l : mAnsweredQuestions){
           result.append(" AND _ID <> " + l);
       }
       return result.toString();
   }
   

   and in my question method:

   mAnsweredQuestions.add(c.getLong(0));

But this does not work when my activity resumes after popup question close. It's like it loads my activity from scratch. I use this in my other game and it works fine in "normal" activity, but for some reason after popup it does not.

2.I need for each imageButton press to launch this popup activity and after each correct answer to save different number of points. I used startActivityForResult in my other game to start activity and save result, but in that case I was starting different activities with each button. Now I have to start the same activity, and save back different results. How can I do that? Here's my popup question class:

public class Pitanja_Cigle extends Activity{

    public static String tacanOdg;
    int counter = 0;

    Button b1, b2, b3, b4;
    TextView question;


LinkedList<Long> mAnsweredQuestions = new LinkedList<Long>();

    private String generateWhereClause(){
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        for (Long l : mAnsweredQuestions){
            result.append(" AND _ID <> " + l);
        }
        return result.toString();
    }

    Runnable mLaunchTaskFinish = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            finish();
        }
     };

    private class Answer {
        public Answer(String opt, boolean correct) {
            option = opt;
            isCorrect = correct;
        }

        String option;
        boolean isCorrect;
    }
    Handler mHandler = new Handler();

    final OnClickListener clickListener = new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Answer ans = (Answer) v.getTag();
            if (ans.isCorrect) {
                Intent i = new Intent("rs.androidaplikacije.toplo_hladno.TACANODGOVOR");
                startActivity(i);
                mHandler.postDelayed(mLaunchTaskFinish,1200);
            }
            else{   
                Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), PogresanOdgovor.class);
                i.putExtra("tacanOdgovor", tacanOdg);
                startActivity(i);
                mHandler.postDelayed(mLaunchTaskFinish,2200);
            }
        }
     };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);   //full screen
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

        setContentView(R.layout.pitanja_cigle);

        InicirajVariable();

        nextQuestion();
    }

    private void nextQuestion() {
        counter++;

        TestAdapter mDbHelper = new TestAdapter(this);
        mDbHelper.createDatabase();

        try{    //Pokusava da otvori db

            mDbHelper.open();  //baza otvorena

            Cursor c = mDbHelper.getPitanjaCigle(generateWhereClause());

            mAnsweredQuestions.add(c.getLong(0));

            List<Answer> labels = new ArrayList<Answer>();

            labels.add(new Answer(c.getString(2), true));
            labels.add(new Answer(c.getString(3), false));
            labels.add(new Answer(c.getString(4), false));
            labels.add(new Answer(c.getString(5), false));

            tacanOdg = c.getString(2);

            Collections.shuffle(labels);

            question.setText(c.getString(1));

            b1.setText(labels.get(0).option);
            b1.setTag(labels.get(0));
            b1.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

            b2.setText(labels.get(1).option);
            b2.setTag(labels.get(1));
            b2.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

            b3.setText(labels.get(2).option);
            b3.setTag(labels.get(2));
            b3.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

            b4.setText(labels.get(3).option);
            b4.setTag(labels.get(3));
            b4.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

    }

    finally{    // kada zavrsi sa koriscenjem baze podataka, zatvara db
        mDbHelper.close();
    }
    }

    private void InicirajVariable() {
        Typeface naslov = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Lobster.ttf");
