Weird exception: Cannot cast String to Boolean when using getBoolean

Question

I\'m getting a very weird error. I have 2 activities. On both I\'m getting the SharedPreferences using MODE_PRIVATE (if it matters) by sp = g

Answer 1

I am assuming that

sp.getBoolean(IntroActivity.SHOW_INTRO, true)// this line returns a String value.

so you can do like this

boolean showIntro = Boolean.parseBoolean(sp.getBoolean(IntroActivity.SHOW_INTRO, true));
