SharedPreferences - How to Save & Retrieve Data Android Studio | Beginner's Guide

Hello fellow Android Developers! Today I will show you how to use Shared Preferences in Android to store data. We will be using a SharedPreferences.Editor to save multiple String values, but keep in mind that you can also save other data types like Integers, Floats, Booleans or Long variables.
This tutorial is suitable for beginners, and I take you step by step through the whole process :)

Could u please use this concept to save the checkbox checked? please make a video on that

[@thevass3797]

@@lakshmikanthgangaramaiah5249 you can check if the checkbox is checked and when it is checked you can put the shared preference code in it. Simple as that.

[@ishitaagrawal6848]

Please checkout the CS50's android Pokdex project. I have been stuck on it since 1 week and I just don't understand from the documentation. Please make a tutorial on that !!!!!

Also just to make it simpler for us newbies you may add a new activity 'OtherPage' from the conetxt menu rather than the process you adopted.

[@Defense89]

awesome tutorial , how can we read all saved stuff ? i have a tic tac toe project to do , first page is a choose player list and an option to add a player , each player score are saved on shared preference, you then must choose an image to play tic tac toe default are X and O. finnaly once the 2 player has chose , tic tac toe game can start. when a player wins scores are updated on shared preferences. but how do you read all shared preference and show them as a choice to click.

[@ayurisqi3481]

Thank you

[@zakiewatin3219]

SharedPreferences are loading my default value instead of saved value. I have everything correct. My SharedPrefs save properly in one activity, but the values don't save at all in other activities.

[@scuzzoo]

Is there a way to save onto the shared preference without having the button, like once we put data into the field, it would just stay there automatically?

[@budyfriend_code]

very good

[@Ben_obrien]

Thanks man, much appreciated 😊 subscribe for more!

[@shortmoviecut]

In RecyclerView there is a cardView and in it, there are multiple checkBoxes. If i select and leave app and come back to app again, those selected checkBoxes must be selected. Can you help me with that bro?

[@pakblogger6025]

Much appreciated...

[@XandarLake1]

Hi, is there a way to store those data after APP is close and once it gets open again we still have the same data written. Thnx.

[@mr.RAND5584]

Can we put the sharedpreferences in a list? Or an array.

Hello dear friend. Do you have any tutorial on how i can have preferences by user? i am using xampp to store the users in users table, then i want another table for lets say results, so a signed in user can choose from 1 to 5 and got stored to the table results by user id

[@pakblogger6025]

Can you make shared preferences Part 2 because the input you printed on otherpage.xml will always show there unless you enter the new values... and by clicking on save button it should show us the values we saved... the video was quite easy to understand

[@stevenmaina2904]
