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

It is possible to get a context from within a Fragment

Just do

public class YourFragment extends Fragment {

    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater,
                             ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yout_fragment_layout, container, false);
        // get context here
        Context context = getContext();
        // do as you please with the context


        // if you decide to go with second option
        SomeViewModel someViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(SomeViewModel.class);
        Context context = homeViewModel.getContext();
        // do as you please with the context
        return root;
    }
}

You may also attached an AndroidViewModel in the onCreateView method that implements a method that returns the application context

public class SomeViewModel extends AndroidViewModel {

    private MutableLiveData> someMutableData;
    Context context;

    public SomeViewModel(Application application) {
        super(application);
        context = getApplication().getApplicationContext();
        someMutableData = new MutableLiveData<>();
        .
        .
     }

     public Context getContext() {
         return context
     }
  }
