SharedPreferences & boolean

Question

I\'m trying to set the \"isPhysicalTheftEnabled\" to false when a method is executed, but this doesn\'t seem to work. Anyone have any idea?

        SharedPre         


        

Answer 1

Try adding ed.commit().

i.e.:

SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("isPhysicalTheftEnabled", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
SharedPreferences.Editor ed = sp.edit();
ed.putBoolean("isPhysicalTheftEnabled", false);
ed.commit();

SharedPreferences.Editors require that you commit anything you change in your SharedPreferences for the changes to apply.

Regarding your comment on Ankit's answer:

To set the checked property of your CheckBox based on the value of the boolean you saved to SharedPreferences, you need something like:

SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("isPhysicalTheftEnabled", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
myCheckBox.setChecked(sp.getBoolean("isPhysicsTheftEnabled", [true/false]);

.. in which you pick either true or false for the def_value of .getBoolean() (if the SharedPreferences can't find the boolean).
