title: How to save the user's selection for every time they run the app on Android?
body: <p>The first time the app is run, I want to have a checkbox list appear where the user selects the list items that they are interested in, and run the program based on that. Every subsequent time the app is run, I want those selected settings to be remembered, or changed with an options menu, in which case the new settings will be remembered. But all I know how to do is make an app go from the beginning every time it is run...</p>
  
  <p>Similarly, my app reads sequentially through all the data in a large, read-only, unchangable database. As of right now, it creates and opens and fetches all the data every time, which takes a few seconds at the start of the program to open up and do anything. Is there a way to get around this, or, is it even a good idea to try to get around this?</p>
