• I have made a shared preference activity that store the user settings, now i want to get values in a activity or normal java class.please provide a solution or example i have already tried this code but failed. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); SharedPreferences channel=this.getSharedPreferences(strFile, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); strChannel=channel.getString(keyChannel,"Default").toString(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), strChannel, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } in this code strfile for eg. com.android.pack.ClassName is SharedPreference Activity from values to be fetched, and keyChannel is key that is same in SharedPreference Activity. Kindly provide the solution.

• Answer:

  If you have a SharedPreferenceActivity by which you have saved your values SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); String imgSett = prefs.getString(keyChannel, ""); if the value is saved in a SharedPreference in an Activity then this is the correct way to saving it. SharedPreferences shared = getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = shared.edit(); editor.putString(keyChannel, email); editor.commit();// commit is important here. and this is how you can retrieve the values. SharedPreferences shared = getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE); String channel = (shared.getString(keyChannel, "")); Also be aware that you can do so in a non-Activity class too but the only condition is that you need to pass the context of the Activity. use this context in to get the SharedPreferences. mContext.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE);
