How to remove some key/value pair from SharedPreferences ? I have put and I to remove that from prefs.

You use remove() to remove specific preferences, you use clear() to remove them all.
How to pass data from one activity to another in Android using shared preferences? Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
sharedPreferences arent safe.. sharedPreferences should just store config/setting-data not encrypted.. Quoting your link: "This essentially obfuscates the key so that it's not readily visible to attackers. However, a skilled attacker would be able to easily see around this strategy.
SharedPreferences mySPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mySPrefs.edit(); editor.remove(key); editor.apply();
Here editor is the sharedPreferences editor.
It is important to note that, unless you're planning on doing something with the return value of the commit() call, there is absolutely no reason for using the synchronous commit() call instead of the asynchronous apply() call.
Keep in mind that if you're calling this from the main/UI thread, the UI is blocked until the commit() has completed. This can take upwards of around 100ms as apposed to about 5ms for the apply. That may not seem like much, but if done continually throughout an application, it will certainly add up.
So, unless you're planning on doing something like this, hopefully on a separate thread:
editor.remove(String key); boolean success = editor.commit(); if (!success) { // do something }
You should instead be doing this:
editor.remove(String key); editor.apply();
