How to store a Date object in SharedPreferences?

Question

Is it possible to store a Date object using SharedPreferences?

Actually in my code I have a String variable, boolean

Answer 1

Put Date as formatted String, e.g.

//for putting
Date myDate;
final String FORMAT="yyyy-MM-dd";
String prefData=SimpleDateFormat(FORMAT).format(myDate);
editor.putString("Date", prefDate);

//for reading
prefDate=settings.getString("Date", "");
Date date=new SimpleDateFormat(FORMAT).parse(prefDate);

Or you can put millis as Long
