Copy the shared preferences XML file from /data on Samsung device failed

Question

There\'s an exporting feature in my application. It\'s just a copy operation since all my settings are store in shared preference.

I just copy the xml file from /da

Answer 1

Never never never never never never never never never hardwire paths.

Unfortunately, there's no getSharedPreferenceDir() anywhere that I can think of. The best solution I can think of will be:

new File(getFilesDir(), "../shared_prefs")

This way if a device manufacturer elects to change partition names, you are covered.

Try this and see if it helps.
