Se você estiver criando um aplicativo grande com outros desenvolvedores da sua equipe e pretender ter tudo bem organizado, sem código disperso ou diferentes instâncias do SharedPreferences, poderá fazer algo assim:
//SharedPreferences manager class
public class SharedPrefs {
//SharedPreferences file name
private static String SHARED_PREFS_FILE_NAME = "my_app_shared_prefs";
//here you can centralize all your shared prefs keys
public static String KEY_MY_SHARED_BOOLEAN = "my_shared_boolean";
public static String KEY_MY_SHARED_FOO = "my_shared_foo";
//get the SharedPreferences object instance
//create SharedPreferences file if not present
private static SharedPreferences getPrefs(Context context) {
return context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS_FILE_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
//Save Booleans
public static void savePref(Context context, String key, boolean value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putBoolean(key, value).commit();
}
//Get Booleans
public static boolean getBoolean(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getBoolean(key, false);
}
//Get Booleans if not found return a predefined default value
public static boolean getBoolean(Context context, String key, boolean defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getBoolean(key, defaultValue);
}
//Strings
public static void save(Context context, String key, String value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putString(key, value).commit();
}
public static String getString(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getString(key, "");
}
public static String getString(Context context, String key, String defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getString(key, defaultValue);
}
//Integers
public static void save(Context context, String key, int value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putInt(key, value).commit();
}
public static int getInt(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getInt(key, 0);
}
public static int getInt(Context context, String key, int defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getInt(key, defaultValue);
}
//Floats
public static void save(Context context, String key, float value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putFloat(key, value).commit();
}
public static float getFloat(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getFloat(key, 0);
}
public static float getFloat(Context context, String key, float defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getFloat(key, defaultValue);
}
//Longs
public static void save(Context context, String key, long value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putLong(key, value).commit();
}
public static long getLong(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getLong(key, 0);
}
public static long getLong(Context context, String key, long defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getLong(key, defaultValue);
}
//StringSets
public static void save(Context context, String key, Set<String> value) {
getPrefs(context).edit().putStringSet(key, value).commit();
}
public static Set<String> getStringSet(Context context, String key) {
return getPrefs(context).getStringSet(key, null);
}
public static Set<String> getStringSet(Context context, String key, Set<String> defaultValue) {
return getPrefs(context).getStringSet(key, defaultValue);
}
}
Em sua atividade, você pode salvar SharedPreferences dessa maneira
//saving a boolean into prefs
SharedPrefs.savePref(this, SharedPrefs.KEY_MY_SHARED_BOOLEAN, booleanVar);
e você pode recuperar suas SharedPreferences dessa maneira
//getting a boolean from prefs
booleanVar = SharedPrefs.getBoolean(this, SharedPrefs.KEY_MY_SHARED_BOOLEAN);
