AFAIK, you can read the SharedPreferences as an XML file. The dangerous part is that you will probably have to hand-assemble the path to the file, as I don't recall an API to get the path for a SharedPreferences file from the SharedPreferences object. Otherwise, there is no export mechanism available that I am aware of. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: 10-11 April 2010: http://guruloft.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
