To save the uri as a preference you first need to translate it to a string using the getPath() method. Then you can store it like this.

SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("whateveryouwant", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = userSettings.edit();  
prefEditor.putString("key", uriString);  
prefEditor.commit();
