SharedPreferencesUtils

Set of methods to save values to and get values from SharedPreferences.

Set-up

Set context to it before using, for example in Activity's onCreate.

  @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        SharedPreferencesUtils.setUpWith(this);
  }

Or even better, set-up when application starts

public class MyAwesomeApp extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        SharedPreferencesUtils.setUpWith(this);
    }
}

Usage

If you dont specify the location of preferences, it will be default.(your.package.name_prefereces)

        //Save userId and apiKey to user_preferences.xml in SharedPreferences
        SharedPreferencesUtils.save("user_preferences", "userId", "layemut");
        SharedPreferencesUtils.save("user_preferences", "apiKey", API_KEY);

        //Get userId and apiKey saved to user_preferences.xml
        SharedPreferencesUtils.getString("user_preferences", "userId");
        SharedPreferencesUtils.getString("user_preferences", "apiKey");

        //Save intro_done to default SharedPreferences (your.package.name_preferences)
        SharedPreferencesUtils.save("intro_done", true);

        //Get intro_done from default SharedPreferences
        SharedPreferencesUtils.getBoolean("intro_done");

        //Set list of string to browser_preferences.xml in SharedPreferences
        List<String> browserHistory = new ArrayList<>();
        browserHistory.add("facebook.com");
        browserHistory.add("google.com");
        SharedPreferencesUtils.save("browser_preferences", "history", browserHistory);

        //Get list of string from browser_preferences.xml
        SharedPreferencesUtils.getStringList("browser_preferences", "history");
