set image button background dynamically

I have defined array of ImageButton dynamically and that will take its buttons background from the user selected photos, my problem is that when I restart the app, the image buttons does not stay, how can I make it stay "along with the user selected background for it" without define it in the XML? I think of shared preferences but I am not sure if it will solve the problem!
icon[count]= new ImageButton(this);
icon[count].setImageResource(R.drawable.p1);
icon[count].setImageBitmap(photo);

To save Background color you have applied , Shared preferences is perfect solution.
You need to save state of background color and retrieve it when you are restarting app(onRestart()) or onPause() or onResume().
how can I make it stay "along with the user selected background for
it" without define it in the XML?

Preference with in-line options

I've created a PReference Screen which lets the user manage a series of elements marked by himself as "favorites". I create a Preference category then fill it up with options dynamically, taking them from a sqlite database. This is a screencap:
And this is a screen mockup of what I want to achieve:
That is, I want for every preference item to add an in-line remove option that allows users to directly remove favorites.
The problem is I don't know how to do this, and I've seen no similar examples. Is it even possible?

Android provides an easy means to implement preferences screen, but standard android ListPreference does not provide an easy way to display an image for each item if the list. To add the images to the Android ListPreference, we need to use a custom xml attribute

Android programmatically changes colors to users specs

I currently have my app using a xml style sheet but all the the test users are asking to set their own colors. I can easily get the data for the user but how do I go about changing everything.
I could have a class called after every activity was fired and have it reset the colors based on the user preferences. is there a better way?

COuldn't you use the findViewById(R.id.something) to get the view element from your xml layout
and then you change the colors you want?
(sorry if I misunderstood your question, in this case could you be more specific>-?)
