Is there really a way to save history of visited sites so that when user comes back(reopens app) he has the list of visited sites on back press

I am just making a simple browser with history management.

Perhaps you could look to an open source project like the Zirco Browser -> https://code.google.com/p/zirco-browser/

Some code like this > https://code.google.com/p/zirco-browser/source/browse/branches/tint-browser-old2/src/org/tint/controllers/BookmarksHistoryController.java

   /**
         * Get a Cursor the history, e.g. records wich have a visits count > 0. Sorted by last visited date.
         * @param currentActivity The parent activity.
         * @return A Cursor to history records.
         * @see Cursor
         */
        public Cursor getHistory(Activity currentActivity) {
                String whereClause = Browser.BookmarkColumns.VISITS + " > 0";
                String orderClause = Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE + " DESC";

                return currentActivity.managedQuery(android.provider.Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI, Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION, whereClause, null, orderClause);
        }

Perhaps you could copy some code and use it for your project.
