I&#39;m confused when it comes down to saving a state. So I know that `onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)` is called when the activity is about to be destroyed. But how do you store your information in it and bring it back to its original state in `onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)`? I don&#39;t understand how this bundle will restore information. It would be helpful if someone can provide an example.
The Dev guide doesn&#39;t do a good job of explaining this.

    public class Conversation extends Activity {
    	private ProgressDialog progDialog;
    	int typeBar;
    	TextView text1;
    	EditText edit;
    	Button respond;
    	private String name;
    	private String textAtView;
    	private String savedName;
    	
    	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    		
			setContentView(R.layout.dorothydialog);
    		text1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.dialog);
    		edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.repsond);
    		respond = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button01);
    		
    		if(savedInstanceState != null){
    			savedInstanceState.get(savedName);
				text1.setText(savedName);
    		}
			else{
    			text1.setText(&quot;Hello! What is your name?&quot;);
	    		respond.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    			
    				@Override
	    			public void onClick(View v) {
    					name = edit.getText().toString();
	    				text1.setText(&quot;Nice to meet you &quot;+ name);
    				}	
    			});
    		}
    	}
    	
   		@Override
   		public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){
   			super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
   			outState.putString(savedName, name);
        }
    }
