Question

I Simply want to store String name ="Android" using SharedPreferences from one of the Activity of my Application and latter I want to retrieve this String in BroadcastReceiver Class of same Application.

I tried everything. please help me.

Answer 1

Follow the below code. Make one class called PreferenceData . In that class there are two methods . One is for store the string into shared preference and another is for get the string for shared preference.

public class PreferenceData 
{
    static final String PREF_STORE = "store_temp";

    public static SharedPreferences getSharedPreferences(Context ctx) 
    {
        return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
    }

    public static void setTempString(Context ctx, String str) 
    {
        Editor editor = getSharedPreferences(ctx).edit();
        editor.putString(PREF_STORE, str);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public static String getTempString(Context ctx) 
    {
        return getSharedPreferences(ctx).getString(PREF_STORE, "");
    }
}

How to Access it ?

PreferenceData.getTempString(Pass Context);   // Get Shared Preference String
PreferenceData.setTempString(Pass Context,"Android") // Set String to Shared Preference
