I'm working on Android sdk platform. Working of app - A user selects multiple checkboxes and then on the basis of selection, the user would receive notifications. When a user relaunches the app, the selected checkboxes stay checked. What should be my approach? The below code is for one checkbox. I want to perform it for multiple checkboxes. How do I approach this?
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.arham.csdevbin.downloadimagefrominternet.SharedPreferencesDemo">
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/checkBox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="103dp"
android:layout_marginStart="103dp"
android:layout_marginTop="136dp"
android:text="CheckBox" />
</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java
CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener {
CheckBox checkBox;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_shared_preferences);
checkBox = findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked) {
checkBox.setText("The CheckBox is Checked");
} else {
checkBox.setText("The CheckBox is not Checked");
}
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Toast.makeText(this, "onPause", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getPreferences(0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("CHECK_BOX_VALUE", checkBox.getText().toString());
editor.putBoolean("CH", checkBox.isChecked());
editor.commit();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Toast.makeText(this, "onResume", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getPreferences(0);
boolean checkBoxValue = sharedPreferences.getBoolean("CH", false);
String chBoxString = sharedPreferences.getString("CHECK_BOX_VALUE", "This is my CheckBox");
checkBox.setChecked(checkBoxValue);
checkBox.setText(chBoxString);
}
}
You have used SharedPreference
and saved only one checkbox value. If you want to save multiple checkbox value you must store all selected checkbox values on SharedPreference
.
I suggest you to save multiple values, use HashMap
to get and set checkboxes in SharedPreference
.
SharedPreferences preferences;
public SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
public void setCheckboxes(HashMap<String, boolean> checkboxes) {
editor.putString("checkbox_1", checkboxes.get("checkbox_1"));
editor.putString("checkbox_2", checkboxes.get("checkbox_2"));
editor.putString("checkbox_3", checkboxes.get("checkbox_3"));
editor.putString("checkbox_4", checkboxes.get("checkbox_4"));
editor.apply();
}
public HashMap<String, boolean> getCheckboxes() {
HashMap<String, boolean> checkboxes = new HashMap<String, boolean>();
checkboxes.put("checkbox_1", preferences.getString("checkbox_1", false));
checkboxes.put("checkbox_2", preferences.getString("checkbox_2", false));
checkboxes.put("checkbox_3", preferences.getString("checkbox_3", false));
checkboxes.put("checkbox_4", preferences.getString("checkbox_4", false));
return checkboxes;
}
