I am working on this app where I have one EditText field where you can write somthing and then it get saved and added to a list(TextView). I save the content of the EditText in this way : saved += "*" + editTextFelt.getText().toString() + ". \n"; saved is a String. Everything works fine, I can even reload the app and it's still displayed in the TextView, but if i try to write somthing and save it everything that was there, now dissapear. anyone know why ? It's kind of confusing, and I have to get it to work! Thank's!! CODE: init Mehtod() sp = getSharedPreferences(fileName, 0); betaView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.betaTextView); Ive got a button to send the text, and this is like: p ublic void onClick(View v) { switch(v.getId()){ case R.id.btnSend: saved += "*" + editTextFelt.getText().toString() + ". \n"; SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit(); editor.putString("SAVED", saved); editor.commit(); betaView.setText(sp.getString("SAVED", "Empty"));
