Answer 1

Hey I found a way in the end :)

I just changed the HashMap I had to format and then did the following to save the contents:

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0).edit();
for( Entry entry : backUpCurency_values.entrySet() ) 
editor.putString( entry.getKey(), entry.getValue() );
editor.commit();

and the following to retrieve the HashpMap:

SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
for( Entry entry : prefs.getAll().entrySet() )
   backUpCurency_values.put( entry.getKey(), entry.getValue().toString() );
