You need to store whatever information determines the state of your
application, use the following overrides:
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// example
savedInstanceState.putString("someKey", someString);
}
then on the load:
@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// example
String someString = savedInstanceState.getString("someKey");
}
A side note to this is there is some wackiness that goes on with the
first install that I never really got an answer too, if you can figure
it out let me know.. the post is here:

Good luck.
