  • Android development with Eclipse Indigo

hi all
i recently started to develop android app using eclipse indigo.
So i'm up to 2 problems now:

1- i have built an app that generates scores, i'm willing to know how to save these sores so when a quit this app and restart it the scores will remain. I tried to enable save from properties by sticking to it true but nothing happened.

2- how to put a scroll bar?i also tried to enable it from property but nothing happened.

btw i'm new to this site, i still in school and i'm willing to become a computer engineering because there are no software engineering in Lebanon. sorry for off topic but i can't get an answer for my question : do computer engineers study software programming more than electronics? i love programming so if there is a better majot please suggest it.

thanks.

There are several options you could go with:
1. Computer Science (available in most universities)
2. Management Information Systems (available in most universities)
3. Software Engineering (I know it is available in UPA - not sure about others)

Welcome to LebGeeks :)
@Roudykh To save the scores you have to open a file on the sdcard and write the data in it maybe on every new record you add to the list then on start load the file contents you can find to many examples on internet for such operation http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4580683/android-java-writing-text-file-to-sd-card and also you could read the samples.
For the scroll bar you have to use a list view then enable vertical scroll bar in the layout xml file then assign an array adapter to it also there are a like zillion exampleshttp://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidListView/article.html , i think if you used the internet while programming you will find your program is very easy .
BTW don't forget permissions for mass storage access it's very important to write/read files.
