Shared Preferences Between Activities

Question

Still fairly new to android, wondered if anyone can help...

I have an App that has multiple activities. Each Activity has a shared preferences file to save strings for that activity. Each preference has its own name.

However, i want any activity to be able to read all preferences....

Am i right in thinking that if i rename them all to the same preference name, that preference will be accessible from any activity within my App?

Or do i need to create a seperate class to handle all preferences?

Many thanks
