Android throwing weird exception while using SharedPreferences

Question

can someone please help, I have been struggling with this piece of android code. It keeps throwing exceptions.

    try
    {
        SharedPreferences sharedPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());//getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        String str = sharedPref.getString(MainActivity.APP_DATA_KEY, "");
        _appData = FemChoiceAppData.deserialize(str);

        if (_appData == null)
            throw new Exception();
    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());
        int year = cl.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = cl.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        int day = cl.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        cl.set(year, month, day, 0, 0, 0);

        _appData = new FemChoiceAppData();
        _appData.CurrentMonth = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());
        _appData.CurrentMonth.set(year, month, 1, 0, 0, 0);

        _appData.CurrentSettings = new FemChoiceSettings(cl.getTime(), 26, 6);
    }

    yearTV.setText(_appData.CurrentSettings.getStartDate().getYear());
    monthTV.setText(_appData.CurrentSettings.getStartDate().getMonth());
    dayTV.setText(_appData.CurrentSettings.getStartDate().getDay());

THIS IS THE EXCEPTION IT THROWS

I think the problem is while loading the resources not with Shared Preferences. Can you post the code for Settings.java(line 92)? — Kameswari

You're setting the text to integers. That makes it think you're passing it resources ids in your strings.xml file. You want to call yearTV.setText(String.valueOf(_appData.CurrentSettings.getStartDate().getYear())); so you pass the function a string and it interprets it as a literal. Do that for all of your setText calls.e
