This example demonstrate about How to save an Android Activity state using save instance state
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:gravity = "center" android:layout_height = "match_parent" tools:context = ".MainActivity" android:orientation = "vertical"> <TextView android:id = "@+id/actionEvent" android:textSize = "40sp" android:layout_marginTop = "30dp" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "match_parent" /> </LinearLayout>

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView actionEvent;
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
actionEvent = findViewById(R.id.actionEvent);
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
savedInstanceState.putString("MyString", "Welcome back to Android");
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
String myString = savedInstanceState.getString("MyString");
actionEvent.setText(myString);
