How to save data by using SharedPreferences in a Fragment

Question

1. I\'m having a problem with saving data permanently. It should be simple, I\'m sending data to another Fragment and it works perfectly, however, I have no idea how to save

Answer 1

If you want to use Shared Preferences instead of sending the data through bundles, use this code:

    String stringToSave = "Save me!";

    // To save data to SP
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getContext().getSharedPreferences(SHARED_NAME_STRING, MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
    editor.putString(USER_NAME_STRING, stringToSave);
    editor.apply();

    // To load the data at a later time
    SharedPreferences prefs = getContext().getSharedPreferences(SHARED_NAME_STRING, MODE_PRIVATE);
    String loadedString = prefs.getString(USER_NAME_STRING, null);

This code is setup to work with fragments. If you use an Activity instead, remove getContext() in front of getSharedPreferences().
