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

Use the below code to set the boolean value in SharedPreference:

    SharedPreferences appSharedPrefs = PreferenceManager
            .getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getApplicationContext());
    Editor prefsEditor = appSharedPrefs.edit();
    prefsEditor.putBoolean(IntroActivity.SHOW_INTRO, true);
    prefsEditor.commit();

And to retrieve the boolean value from SharedPreference use this code:

SharedPreferences appSharedPrefs = PreferenceManager
            .getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getApplicationContext());
    boolean showIntro = appSharedPrefs.getBoolean(IntroActivity.SHOW_INTRO, true);
