save variables after quitting application?

I want some variables to be saved, when I shut down my app and to load them after opening the app (for statistics in a game)

How can I do this?

EDIT: Here my code:

TextView test1;
String punkte = "15";

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

    SharedPreferences save = getSharedPreferences(punkte, 0);
    save.edit().putString("score", punkte);

    SharedPreferences load = getSharedPreferences(punkte, 0);
    String points = load.getString("score", "0");

    test1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.test1);
    test1.setText(points);

    }
