Class trying to retrieve the username that was previously save in shared preference:

public class testSharedPrefernce extends Activity{
TextView tv;
 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.lo);
     tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
     SharedPreferences myPrefs = this.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
     String name = myPrefs.getString("NAME", "YourName");
     tv.setText(name);
 }

}

Answer 1

Just make a constructor of that class which accepts the context.As example:

class Abc
{
    Context contaxt;
    public Abc(Context context)
    {
        this.context = context;
    }
}
..........
..........
// now use this context to SharedPref..
SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

Answer 2

Use below code for get preferences.

SharedPreferences myPrefs = this.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
boolean cbvalue = myPrefs.getBoolean("CHECKBOX", false);
String name = myPrefs.getString("NAME", "YourName");
String paswrd =myPrefs.getString("PASSWORD", "123");

Use below code for save preferences.

SharedPreferences myPrefs = this.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = myPrefs.edit();

prefsEditor.putString("NAME", "Dipak");
prefsEditor.putString("PASSWORD", "Dipak123");
prefsEditor.commit();
