Saving the spinner position or value using Shared Preference

Question

I am in my Fragment class which has spinner that contains locales..for text to speech

    mylocale = localeList.get(position);
    textToSpeech.setLanguage(mylocale);
    spinnerposition = Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(localeList.get(position)));

i want to save the position using sharedpreferences this is what i am trying:

 public void savepos(){
    sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    editor.putInt(POSITION , spinnerposition);
    editor.apply();
}

i have declared spinner position as Global variable

int spinnerposition;

here's how i retrieve the position:

public void saveposload(){
    sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());
    int position = sharedPreferences.getInt(POSITION ,1);

    mspinner.setSelection(sharedPreferences.getInt(POSITION, position));
}

but i am not able to do so, app crashes please help

Answer 1

Is localeList the list where you store all the locales, like "it_IT", etc?
If this is the case then this:

localeList.get(position)

is a String and it cannot be parsed to int with this line:

spinnerposition = Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(localeList.get(position)));

Maybe you only need this:

public void saveposload(){
    sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());
    mspinner.setSelection(sharedPreferences.getInt(POSITION, 0));
}

Make sure that you call saveposload() after you set the adapter.
