If you want to try an approach other than shared preferences then you can use a file to write the values and then retrieve the values from it. Declare a text file emailLogin.txt and use it as follows to write the data.

           try {
                Context context = MainActivity.this;
                OutputStreamWriter out=
                        new OutputStreamWriter(context.openFileOutput(EMAILLOGIN, 0));

                out.write(email_text);                   
                out.write("\r\n");
                out.write(userIDToken);                   
                out.write("\r\n");
                out.write(accessToken);                   
                out.write("\r\n");

                out.close();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 

After writing to the file, you can do the following to read from it.

   File file = this.getFileStreamPath(EMAILLOGIN);

            if(file.exists())
            {
                try {
                    InputStream in=openFileInput(NUMBERS);

                    if (in!=null) {
                        InputStreamReader tmp=new InputStreamReader(in);
                        BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(tmp);
                        String str;
                        String strcount[]= new String[20];                                                        

                        java.util.Arrays.fill(strcount, 0, 10, "");
                        while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {                       
                            strcount[linecount]=str;                              
                        }

                        loginEmail = strcount[0];
                        loginUserId = strcount[1];
                        loginAccessToken = strcount[2];

                        in.close();              
                    }
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

This will ensure that even when your app force closes or if your device reboots, you can still read the required values from the file.
