Check if a private preference has been created?

Question

I want to check if a xml file exists. The xml is the private preference of an activity. And I want to read from my main activity when app starts. How can I check it?

I don't need read the file, only to know if exists or not.

You can check with the help of this, It seems that it's not good solution but you can check your shared prefrence's file.

File f = new File("/data/data/"+context.getPackageName()+"/shared_prefs"+"/MyFile.xml");
if(f.exists()){
    Log.v("LOG", "Exist");
}else{
    Log.v("LOG", " Not Exist");
}
