how to store spinner selected value and retrieve it in another activity for display

Question

i've searched for a solution on google ,and on stack overflow.Yes i also know this could be a duplicate of another question asked in stack overflow but i tried the code snippets offered but none of them worked.Like: Taking user selection in a spinner, storing it in sharedPrefences, and using it in another activity and not getting integer value from SharedPreference and http://www.acnenomor.com/4379973p1/how-to-save-spinner-selecteditem-to-sharedpreferences

Here is my problem.I have the first activity,with two spinners from this tutorial http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-spinner-drop-down-list-example/ .On pressing the submit button,id like to save the selected values on SharesPreferences.On going to the second activity,i retrieve the selected values and display them on a text view.So that on the next app launch i go to the second activity to find the displayed saved values.I've been really stranded on this.Please point me in the right direction.Any help will be very much appreciated.

main activity

public class MyAndroidAppActivity extends Activity {
 
  private Spinner spinner1, spinner2;
  private Button btnSubmit;
 
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.main);
 
 addItemsOnSpinner2();
 addListenerOnButton();
 addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection();
  }
 
  // add items into spinner dynamically
  public void addItemsOnSpinner2() {
 
 spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
 List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
 list.add("list 1");
 list.add("list 2");
 list.add("list 3");
 ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
  android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
 dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
 spinner2.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
  }
 
  public void addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection() {
 spinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
 spinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new CustomOnItemSelectedListener());
  }
 
  // get the selected dropdown list value
  public void addListenerOnButton() {
 
 spinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
 spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
 btnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);
 
 btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
 
     Toast.makeText(MyAndroidAppActivity.this,
  "OnClickListener : " + 
                "\nSpinner 1 : "+ String.valueOf(spinner1.getSelectedItem()) + 
                "\nSpinner 2 : "+ String.valueOf(spinner2.getSelectedItem()),
   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }
 
 });
  }
}

CustomOnItemSelectedListener.java

public class CustomOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
 
  public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,long id) {
 Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), 
  "OnItemSelectedListener : " + parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(),
  Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
 
  @Override
  public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  }
 
}

I was finally able to do it. I used this tutorial (http://androidopentutorials.com/android-sharedpreferences-tutorial-and-example/) I modified this code to fit what I wanted

public void onClick(View v) {
text = String.valueOf(spinner1.getSelectedItem()) + String.valueOf(spinner2.getSelectedItem());
                    sharedPreference.save(context, text);
