Is there an easy way to save a highscore?

Basically the title says it all, I just want an easy way to save a number (a highscore) and then when i need to, access it later. I want it to be there after someone leaves the app and then returns.

Personally, I like to use the SQLite database to store values. It may be a bit overkill if you are only using it to store a high-score (since it adds 300k to the Android build size), but I find it to be the easiest way to store things. And you may want to store other things as well (top 10 scores, highest level, time played, sound on/off, etc).

For quick and easy I like the Crawl Space Library:

See the routines Save(myData) and myData = Load() - plus there are a zillion other reasons to use it.
