How to save dynamically added items in Listview with sharedpreferences?

Question

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.a         


        

Answer 1

You can store string sets in Shared Preferences, then convert them back to a List when you retrieve them.

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("test1");
list.add("test2");

PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
    .edit()
    .putStringSet("stringset", new HashSet<String>(list))
    .commit();

Answer 2

You are supposed to store single key-value paired data with SharedPreferences. Trying to store big grouped data is not efficient at all. You should use an SQLite database.

Answer 3

You can save to shared preference in this way

SharedPreferences sp = context.getSharedPreferences(
            "file name", 0);
    SharedPreferences.Editor spEdit = sp.edit();
    spEdit.putLong(key, value);
    spEdit.commit();
