how to implement SHARED PREFERENCE (java, sql database LOGIN)

Question

hey guys so i got a login activity that checks username and password with server to authenticate users. i want to use sharedpermissions to store username and password so that the user wont have log in every time. i also want to create a login button. i tried to implement it but itjust skips login acitivity and takes me to my second activity. i left some of sharedpermission codes as comments (//)

can anyone show/tell me the best i can do it?

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);


    //String username = "";
    //String password = "";
    //SharedPreferences pre;


    final EditText etUsername = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUsername);
    final EditText etPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
    final TextView tvRegisterLink = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRegisterhere);
    final Button bLogin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLogin);

    if(TextUtils.isEmpty(etUsername.getText().toString())||TextUtils.isEmpty(etPassword.getText().toString())){
        Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, UserAreaActivity.class);
        LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
    } else {
        Intent registerIntent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
        LoginActivity.this.startActivity(registerIntent);
    }




    final String username1 = SharedPreferenceUtils.getUsername(this);
    final String password1 = SharedPreferenceUtils.getPassword(this);

    // pre = getSharedPreferences("pref",MODE_PRIVATE);
    //if(pre.getBoolean("username",true) && pre.getBoolean("password",true)){













    tvRegisterLink.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent registerIntent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, RegisterActivity.class);

            final String username = etUsername.getText().toString();
            final String password = etPassword.getText().toString();


            // Response received from the server
            Response.Listener<String> responseListener = new Response.Listener<String>() {

                        if (success) {
                            String name = jsonResponse.getString("name");
                            SharedPreferenceUtils.createSP(LoginActivity.this,username1,password1);





                            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, UserAreaActivity.class);
                            intent.putExtra("name", name);
                            intent.putExtra("username", username);

You can use SharedPreferences in your code .

Try this .

public class SharedPreferenceUtils {

    private static final String SP_NAME = "sp";
    public static final String USERNAME = "username";
    public static final String PASSWORD = "password";


    // create
    public static boolean createSP(Context context, String username, String password) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = context.getSharedPreferences(SP_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
        editor.putString(USERNAME, username);
        editor.putString(PASSWORD, password);
        return editor.commit();
    }

    // clear
    public static boolean clearSP(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = context.getSharedPreferences(SP_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
        return editor.clear().commit();
    }

    // get access info
    public static String getUsername(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences sp = context.getSharedPreferences(SP_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return sp.getString(USERNAME, "");
    }
    // get branch info
    public static String getPassword(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences sp = context.getSharedPreferences(SP_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return sp.getString(PASSWORD, "");
    }
}

Use in LoginActivity

SharedPreferenceUtils.createSP(this,username,password);

And use in other Activity

String username = SharedPreferenceUtils.getUsername(this);
String password = SharedPreferenceUtils.getPassword(this);

Edit

if (success) {
      String name = jsonResponse.getString("name");
      SharedPreferenceUtils.createSP(this, username, password);
}

Edit

private EditText etUsername, etPassword;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    etUsername = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUsername);
    etPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPassword);

    String username = SharedPreferenceUtils.getUsername(this);
    String password = SharedPreferenceUtils.getPassword(this);
    etUsername.setText(username);
    etPassword.setText(password);
}

Edit

 if(TextUtils.isEmpty(etUsername.getText().toString())||TextUtils.isEmpty(etPassword.getText().toString())){
        Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, A.class);
        LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
 } else {
        Intent registerIntent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, B.class);
        LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
 }

Edit

boolean isClear = SharedPreferenceUtils.clearSP(UserAreaActivity.this);
if(isClear){
        Intent registerIntent = new Intent(UserAreaActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
        UserAreaActivity.this.startActivity(registerIntent);
}
