Android SharedPreferences in Fragment

Question

I am trying to read SharedPreferences inside Fragment. My code is what I use to get preferences in any other Activity.

     SharedPreferences preferences = g         


        

Answer 1

The method getSharedPreferences is a method of the Context object, so just calling getSharedPreferences from a Fragment will not work...because it is not a Context! (Activity is an extension of Context, so we can call getSharedPreferences from it).

So you have to get your applications Context by

// this = your fragment
SharedPreferences preferences = this.getActivity().getSharedPreferences("pref", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
