Question

Answer 1

It can work if we want read perference value from other app/pkg/process. but there is something wrong in jkhouw1's answer:

Context myContext = createPackageContext("com.example", 
            Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);

It should be :

Context myContext = createPackageContext("com.example", 
            Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY);

though , CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY and MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE with the same value of "int 2" At all ,thanks for this question and answers.
