How to save HashMap to Shared Preferences?

Question

How can I save a HashMap Object into Shared Preferences in Android?

Answer 1

I would not recommend writing complex objects into SharedPreference. Instead I would use ObjectOutputStream to write it to the internal memory.

File file = new File(getDir("data", MODE_PRIVATE), "map");    
ObjectOutputStream outputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
outputStream.writeObject(map);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
