Best way to get collect pounds or kilos in android from user?

Question

I am going to write a BMI app and I would like to allow the user to enter weight and height in either U.S. units or metric. I am not sure what is the best way to go about this because I would also like to be able for the user to save their preference. Should I use a switch widget? Thanks in advance. Also not sure if I am asking in the right place.

Use Radio Buttons to get the user preference.

Save the user preference in SharedPreferences.

Yes that makes sense! I have an iOS background so I am new to Android. – CCat Feb 10 '17 at 03:53

I went with radio buttons but for the future I will look into ToggleButton. – CCat Feb 10 '17 at 06:32
