18 SharedPreferences
Android provides many ways of storing data of an application. One of this way is called Shared Preferences. Shared Preferences allow you to save and retrieve data in the form of key,value pair.
In order to use shared preferences, you have to call a method getSharedPreferences() that returns a SharedPreference instance pointing to the file that contains the values of preferences.
SharedPreferences sharedpreferences =
getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
The first parameter is the key and the second parameter is the MODE.
MODE_PRIVATE
By setting this mode, the file can only be accessed using calling application
You can save something in the sharedpreferences by using SharedPreferences.Editor class. You will call the edit method of SharedPreference instance and will receive it in an editor object.
Its syntax is −
Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
editor.putString("key", "value");
editor.commit();
Algorithm:
1)create an Android Studio Project named as SharedPreferences.
2)open activity_main.xml file and design UI as follows.
Step 3) Open MainActivity.java file and implement the following code
create the object for sharedpreferences
sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
create the object for editor and use method called putString to store values as (key,value) pair.
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
editor.putString(Name, name);
editor.putString(Phone, pwd);
editor.putString(Email, email);
editor.commit();
Step 5) Run the application from the menu bar select Run and Click on Run App option.
Step 6) go to the following path where the Shared Preferences file is created.
Go to view-->Tool Windows -->Device File Explorer and open it.
In side the Device File Explorer window open data folder inside data folder next
open the project name. i.e. com.example.sharedpreferences and
open the folder named as shared_prefs
Which contains the sharedpreferences file i.e MyPrefs.xml
