You need to explain more why you dont want to start activity immediately. Do you want to start it later? what is your use case? Please explain more in detail. — SMR, May 19 '16 at 05:12

Then save it in **SharedPreference** and Use it later .( when you start it later) — Janki Gadhiya, May 19 '16 at 05:15

All that for just to store a simple string. NOPE. A lot of overhead don't you think? Cloud? really? what if internet is not available? – SMR May 19 '16 at 05:58
Shared Preferences is the best option in this scenario. – Vivek_Neel May 19 '16 at 06:23
