Saving and restoring position in an app

[MDEnt]

Hello - Enjoying dev with B4A -but a quick question regarding an efficient recommended way for saving and continuing...

I have a very simple application that uses Panels to change between multiple "screens." If the user presses the back key at any point - they are prompted to quit the application. If they choose YES, I'm hoping my application can remember which panel (screen) they were on last. When they use the application again - they can start over, or continue (on that last panel visited).

I've declared a global integer variable. I then assign the variable a screennumber value in each panel. I'm thinking the concepts in the text files tutorial to save a file and read a file is the way to go?

Have a look at this thread.

Thanks. Using the map example in that thread - writing the last visited panel and reading the same panel back is working perfectly. (Testing with a message box)
