I made a small android app that, from a listview, opens a google maps activity and when you longpress on the map, it saves the address of that location in an ArrayList and then adds it to the list view,the latitute and longitute of the location are also saved that way, and then I save all of that information through SharedPreferences.
My problem is, that even though the listview is updated when the app is running, I lose all of the data when I restart the app, basically meaning the information is never being saved in the first place.
The saving of data is done on the onMapLongClick method in the MapsActivity, and the data load is done on the OnCreate method in the MainActivity.

You seem to be putting into and getting from two different preference.
When fetching from preference, you are using package com.rapha.favoriteplaces:
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = this.getSharedPreferences("package com.rapha.favoriteplaces", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
try {
places = (ArrayList<String>) ObjectSerializer.deserialize(sharedPreferences.getString("places", ObjectSerializer.serialize(new ArrayList<String>())));
// ...
When saving the values you use com.rapha.favoriteplaces:
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("com.rapha.favoriteplaces",Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
sharedPreferences.edit().putString("lats", ObjectSerializer.serialize(MainActivity.lats)).apply();
Make both of them same and then try.
