    /** Called when the activity is first created. */


  public static final String PREFS_NAME = "MyPrefsFile";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text1);

    Myapp appState = ((Myapp)getApplicationContext());

   String s= appState.getState();


    et.setText(s);

Merge the application tags (i.e. put the android:name in the first one and delete the rest):

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"
             android:name=".MyApp">

    <activity android:name=".AndroidtestActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>


</application>

Then use getApplication() instead of getApplicationContext().
