I am developing an app in which i have to show all the installed Applications in a listview with checkboxes.Whenever the user selects any checkbox from the list that Application Info object (corresponding to checked checkbox) is added to my global class variable (ArrayList added_apps). I am succeed in doing so. but the problem is that whenever i exits the app all of the items that the user added to added_apps ArrayList are not saved. I have to again add the items in arraylist to proceed further. I have tried so far and here is my code but it does not work.
Code for displaying Installed Application and added to Global class variable added_apps ArrayList on checkboxClick Listener:
