An other way to save and restore an object from android sharedpreferences without using the Json format

private static ExampleObject getObject(Context c,String db_name){
            SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = c.getSharedPreferences(db_name, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
            ExampleObject o = new ExampleObject();
            Field[] fields = o.getClass().getFields();
            try {
                for (Field field : fields) {
                    Class type = field.getType();
                    try {
                        final String name = field.getName();
                        if (type == Character.TYPE || type.equals(String.class)) {
                            field.set(o,sharedPreferences.getString(name, ""));
                        } else if (type.equals(int.class) || type.equals(Short.class))
                            field.setInt(o,sharedPreferences.getInt(name, 0));
                        else if (type.equals(double.class))
                            field.setDouble(o,sharedPreferences.getFloat(name, 0));
                        else if (type.equals(float.class))
                            field.setFloat(o,sharedPreferences.getFloat(name, 0));
                        else if (type.equals(long.class))
                            field.setLong(o,sharedPreferences.getLong(name, 0));
                        else if (type.equals(Boolean.class))
                            field.setBoolean(o,sharedPreferences.getBoolean(name, false));
                        else if (type.equals(UUID.class))
                            field.set(
                                    o,
                                    UUID.fromString(
                                            sharedPreferences.getString(
                                                    name,
                                                    UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes("".getBytes()).toString()
