Hi so im trying to make a game and I want the highscore to be save. From what Ive read its best to used sharedpreference. Here is my code:
I declare the ints here
public int score;
public int highScore;
SharedPreferences data;
public static String filename = "HighScore";
Then Ive called it in the on create.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
data = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = data.edit();
editor.putInt("Hscore", highScore);
editor.commit();
}
and now i want to display the highscore in an alertdialouge
AlertDialog.Builder myAlert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
myAlert.setTitle("You have lost");
myAlert.setMessage("Your score was :" + score + "\n" + "Your Highscore is :" + \\read highscore and display here)
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which){
dialog.dismiss();
score=0;
TextView myScore = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.scoreTxt);
String points = String.valueOf(score);
myScore.setText(points);
}
})
.create();
Thank you for your help
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
public int score;
public int highScore = 10;
SharedPreferences data;
public static String filename = "HighScore"; // This is shared preference name
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
data = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);

editor.apply(); // Use editor.apply() for saving in background*/

currentscore = 10;
highScore = data.getInt("Hscore", 0); // lets say highscore = 100

// This will store the new high score in the sharedpreferences.

The process is simple. Steps to use Sharedpreferences :
Step 1 : You need to Create a shared preference variable to save high Score.
Step 2 : Need to save the current high score to the shared preference variable.
Step 3 : Retrieve the high score when you needed.
Try the below code :
public int score;
public int highScore;
SharedPreferences data;
public static String filename = "HighScore"; // This is shared preference name
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Initializing the shared preference
data = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
// This is where you insert/store the Highscore value in the shared preference
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = data.edit();
editor.putInt("Hscore", highScore);
editor.commit(); // Use editor.apply() for saving in background
} // on create ends
Getting the value from the Sharedpreferences - Syntax
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
int value = data.getInt("KEY VALUE", "DEFAULT VALUE"); // If there is no shared preference defined for the given key value default value is returned.
Displaying the High Score in Alert dialog
SharedPreferences data = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
AlertDialog.Builder myAlert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
myAlert.setTitle("You have lost");
myAlert.setMessage("Your score was :" + score + "\n" + "Your Highscore is :" + data.getInt("Hscore", 0)) // refer syntax
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which){
dialog.dismiss();
score=0;
TextView myScore = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.scoreTxt);
String points = String.valueOf(score);
myScore.setText(points);
}
})
.create();
