how to make a selected value in spinner as a default one for next session in android

I am working on an android project and I am using a spinner which is populated manually. For example if, in the spinner I have the following items:

select

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

Initially the spinner value is select now i selected category 2 How would I programmatically make Category 2 as the default value for next session(opening the app next time). Thank you.

In the first session you save the selected index in a SharedPreferences: 

PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).edit().putInt("srIndex",spinner.getSelectedItemPosition());

And in the second session you read the saved index and set it to the spinner:

spinner.setSelection(PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getInt("srIndex",0));

You can use SharedPreferences to save the index of selected category and every time activity is loaded retrieve the index from SharedPreferences and set selection

Spinner.setSelection(index);

If you not aware of SharedPreferences you can refer to StackOverflow

If you know the position of "Category 2" you can do the item below. You can get the index from the adapter.

spinner.setSelection(indexOfCategory2);
