save string value in android using SharedPreferences

Question

I want to save a string value in android activity using SharedPreferences.

This is my SearchUserAdapter class : here only passing the search people user id :

final String searchuserid = Order.get(SearchProfile.TAG_USER_ID);
    username_search.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent in = new Intent(activity,
                    SearchProfile.class);
            in.putExtra("UserId", searchuserid);
            activity.startActivity(in);
        }
    });
     return vi;
}

In this SearchProfile.class:

Intent i = getIntent();
userid = i.getStringExtra("UserId");
SharedPreferences loginPreferences = getSharedPreferences(M_SPF_NAME,
    Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
loginPreferences.edit().putString(M_USERNAME, userid).commit();

Here if I have reloaded the SearchPorile activity many times means that time also need to get the same user id when selecting the another user id from that SearchUserAdapter class. How can I save this value ? Any suggestion or idea will be appreciated.

You just need to saved value on Preferences in Activity onPause() and load it on Activity onResume() — M D

Save Shared Preference:

SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString(key, value);
editor.commit();

Get Shred Preference:

SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
String name = sharedPreferences.getString("storedName", "YourName");

I can propose you a different way. First, you prepare a class for shared preference which contain :

public static void put(Context context, String key, String value) {

    SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = prefs.edit();
    prefsEditor.putString(key, value);
    prefsEditor.commit();
}

Second, use this where you need and store data. For your purpose, you can call and use this on your adapter(Intent will not be required in this case).

SharedPreferences myPrefs = getSharedPreferences("Userinfo", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = myPrefs.edit();
editor.putString("Key", "Yourvalue");
editor.putString("Key", "Yourvalue");
editor.commit();
