Android equivalent of NSUserDefaults in iOS

Question

I'd like to save some simple data. On the iPhone, I can do it with NSUserDefaults in Objective-C.

What is the similar command here in Android?

I'm just saving a few variables, to be reused as long as the application is installed. I don't want to use a complicated database just to do that.

Answer 1

This is the most simple solution I've found:

//--Init int myvar = 12;   //--SAVE Data SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);   SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit(); editor.putInt("var1", myvar); editor.commit();   //--READ data        myvar = preferences.getInt("var1", 0);   

Where 'context' is the current context (e.g. in an activity subclass could be this).
