@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main2);
    savedInstanceState.putString("foo", "bar");
}
@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
  String myString = savedInstanceState.getString("foo");
  Log.i("debug", "saved data: " + myString);
}
