Let's keep it easy and simple
Shared preferences
Shared preferences allow you to store small amounts of primitive data as key/value pairs in a file on the device
- keep track of small bits of important
- Store information without needing a storage permission

MainActivity Code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView sharedPref;
Button buttonAdd;
int count=0;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("your_prefs", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
count = sp.getInt("your_int_key", -1);
sharedPref=findViewById(R.id.sharedPref);
buttonAdd=findViewById(R.id.buttonAdd);
sharedPref.setText(""+count);
buttonAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
count++;
sharedPref.setText(""+count);
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("your_prefs", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
editor.putInt("your_int_key", count);
editor.commit();
}
});
}
}
Lets Upgrade to PreferenceUtil
you must be thinking why PreferenceUtil 🤔 , let's see why should we use this.
1) Much cleaner and readable code.
2) Can access any variable from any class.
--> To get the value
PreferenceUtil.getInstance(MainActivity.this).getCountNum();
--> To set the value
PreferenceUtil.getInstance(MainActivity.this).SetCountNum(count);
3) Code is reduced.
4) Variables using shared preferences are in one place.
5) Fewer errors due to key naming.
6) Easy to use with ViewModel.
7) Very good for you to handle large projects.
I hope these advantages are good enough for you to migrate😎.
