Answer 1

You can do simpler - in any activity:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

You will have the same prefs this way from anywhere.

Answer 2

To read shared datas in the second activity , change the mode :

from MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE to MODE_WORLD_READABLE

 SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("myPrefs",Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
  String theme=sharedPref.getString("theme","blue");

Answer 3

// try this way
1. define SharedPreferences variable in SmartApplication class  also define read and write method SharedPreferences

private SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;

 @Override
 public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

 sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("yourAppName", MODE_PRIVATE);

 } 

public void writeSharedPreferences(String key, String value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = readSharedPreferences().edit();
        editor.putString(key, value);
        editor.commit();
}
// write Shared Preferences 
public void writeSharedPreferences(String key, boolean value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = readSharedPreferences().edit();
        editor.putBoolean(key, value);
        editor.commit();
}
// write Shared Preferences 
public void writeSharedPreferences(String key, float value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = readSharedPreferences().edit();
        editor.putFloat(key, value);
        editor.commit();
}

public void writeSharedPreferences(String key, int value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = readSharedPreferences().edit();
        editor.putInt(key, value);
        editor.commit();
}

// write Shared Preferences 
public void writeSharedPreferences(String key, long value) {
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = readSharedPreferences().edit();
        editor.putLong(key, value);
        editor.commit();
}

// get Shared Preferences 
public SharedPreferences readSharedPreferences() {
        return sharedPreferences;
}
