Saving small strings of data on local storage on android studio

Question

I am trying to make a projects which reminds users for their vaccines. I have made some progress and have created birth date forms using EditText. I just can't seem to find how to save those strings to a file so when the user closes the app they are saved. Here is the code. There are two activities. I am trying to save dita1 muaji 1 and viti1 which are on the second activity.

---------------------------------First Activity----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

package al.programming.erlisciko.vaksinimi;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MyVaccines extends AppCompatActivity {

    public Button vendosni_ditelindjen;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_vaccines);
        OnClickButtonListener();
    }

    public void OnClickButtonListener(){
        vendosni_ditelindjen = (Button)findViewById(R.id.vendosni_ditelindjen);
        vendosni_ditelindjen.setOnClickListener(
                new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        Intent set = new Intent ("al.programming.erlisciko.vaksinimi.SetDate");
                                startActivity(set);
                    }
                }
        );

    }
}

----------------------------Second Activity-------------------------------------

package al.programming.erlisciko.vaksinimi;

import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.EditText;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;



public class SetDate extends AppCompatActivity {
    public Button ruani;
    public EditText dita, muaji, viti;
    public String dita1, muaji1, viti1;



    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_set_date);


        ruani = (Button)findViewById(R.id.ruani);
        dita   = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.dita);
        muaji   = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.muaji);
        viti  = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.viti);

        ruani.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(View view){
                Log.v("dita1", dita.getText().toString());
                Log.v("muaji1", muaji.getText().toString());
                Log.v("viti1", viti.getText().toString());
            }
        });
        System.out.print(dita1);

    }
}

Thank You

Use SharedPreferences for this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23024831/android-shared-preferences-example — Ali, Jul 07 '17 at 13:59

If you have a relatively small collection of key-values that you'd like to save, you should use the SharedPreferences

Write to Shared Preferences

SharedPreferences sharedPref = getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
editor.putString("Name", yourname);
editor.commit();

Read from Shared Preferences

SharedPreferences sharedPref = getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String name = sharedPref.getString("Name", "");
