I think you have a trouble in understanding Shared preferences in android .

According to official documentation

To get a SharedPreferences object for your application, use one of two methods:

getSharedPreferences() - Use this if you need multiple preferences files identified by name, which you specify with the first parameter.

getPreferences() - Use this if you need only one preferences file for your Activity. Because this will be the only preferences file for your Activity, you don't supply a name.

You should have a Context for using both the above methods .

Also Shared preferences are stored asa key value pair , so clearing should mean that you set the values to some empty string.

For more details , and better explanation you can read here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#pref and http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidFileBasedPersistence/article.html

Hope this will help.

Cheers!
