What is Android's SharedPreferences equivalent in Java?

Question

I'm trying to port an Android application to a Java desktop application. The android application is using a SharedPreferences object to store some data. Is there an equivalent in Java of this class?

Answer 1

Check the Preferences API out. It has the same idea and use cases as the SharedPreferences.

Answer 2

Check out the java.util.Properties class.

You have to manage reading and writing the file, but it might be good enough!
