Hi, I seem to be struggling with the concept of Context in Android
when dealing with the application preferences.
I have an application with a few different classes. I need to be able
to get the value of one of the preferences from a class that is not my
main class, but I can't seem to get it working at all.
I get a NullPointerException with the following (as well as about a
hundred other variations):
final SharedPreferences prefs =
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
final boolean increasing = prefs.getBoolean("preference_name",
false);
Am I doing something completely stupid? Is there some useful reading I
can do on Context to see what I'm doing wrong? Is there an example app
that anyone can think of that might be helpful? I've searched Google
and Google Code a few times and I keep finding different things that
are related, but not the same.
I'm about ready to tear my hair out and cry myself to sleep at this
point. :(
I really appreciate any pointers.
Regards,
Stuart.
