android getSharedPreferences error: Map value without name attribute: boolean

Question

I am trying to figure out the cause of this error it occurs on startup when i try to get the shared preferences for the app. the code is just:

settings = this.getSha

Answer 1

In my case

public static String docsDownloadStatus;

    SharedPreferences sharedPref = context.getSharedPreferences(
            "Pref-Values", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
>>>>    editor.putString(docsDownloadStatus, value);
    editor.commit();

"docsDownloadStatus" is not initialized because of this whole shared pref file was corrupted. After initializing docsDownloadStatus key everything worked fine.
