I am creating an application,In my app I am getting response and displaing it in custom alert dialog, Till here it works fine, Now what I am trying to do is if user selects an item from alert dialog once, it should store it in preference so that no need of fetch the data every time.
Following is my code snippet.
The following response which i am getting is :

statedata = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(STATE_URL, ServiceHandler.GET);
Log.d("Response: ", "> " + jsonStr);
if (jsonStr != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
state_list = jsonObj.getJSONArray(COUNTRY_LIST);
// looping through All Contacts
for (int i = 0; i < state_list.length(); i++) {
