EXPERIMENT 14
SHARED PREFERENCE

AIM: To create an application using shared preference.

THEORY:
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 file name 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();

Apart from the putString method , there are methods available in the editor class. They
are listed as follows –
clear() It will remove all values from the editor.
remove(String key) It will remove the value whose key has been passed as a
parameter
putLong(String It will save a long value in a preference editor
key,
long value)

putFloat(String It will save a float value in a preference editor

key,
float value)
putInt(String key, It will save a integer value in a preference editor
int value)

ASSIGNMENT
1. Create an application using Shared Preference.

2. Create an application that gets an input and stores the input data in shared
preference file. Once the activity is navigated from first activity to second
activity the data should be fetched from the preference file and display the data.
Using Toast display “Data Saved successfully” and “Data Retrieved
Successfully”. Use the concept of Shared Preference.
