Diagram of life cycle onSaveInstanceState, onRestoreInstanceState

[caption id="attachment_1169" align="alignleft" width="229" caption="Life cycle onRestoreInstanceState"][/caption]

If the app have transparent menu and you do not want this,
try delete @style/AppTheme in application tag in AndroidManifest.xml
and try run module - project. If menu is not transparent , maybe it caused

 <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/dicts_ico"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" // delete this row - run app - try menu
 >

Or try set values\styles.xml into basic Theme

<resources>

    <!--
        Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
        by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
    -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Black">
        <!--
            Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
            res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
            backward-compatibility can go here.
        -->
    </style>

    <!-- Application theme. -->

Write to file Android example

try {

		String strText = "My text";

                // MODE_APPEND, MODE_WORLD_READABLE, MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE
		// create new file or rewrite existing
                FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(MYFILE, getApplicationContext().MODE_PRIVATE);
                // append to file
                FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(MYFILE, getApplicationContext().MODE_APPEND);

		fos.write(strText.getBytes());
		fos.close();					
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.toString();
    }	

Write to file Java example

try {

   BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("outfilename", true));
    out.write("some text");
