This document discusses how to use Shared Preferences in Android to save form data when an application is closed prematurely. Shared Preferences provides a simple way to store key-value pairs of primitive data that can be retrieved even if an app is closed. The document demonstrates creating an app with an EditText field, using Shared Preferences to save the text on app close, and retrieve the saved text to populate the field again when the app reopens. It provides code examples for getting Shared Preferences, saving data on close, and retrieving the saved data on app open.
