Hey there all,

I'm having a problem that i don't know how to resolve.

I have a broadcast receiver catching a call from the system.  I need
this receiver to set a flag so that the next time my app runs it can
do something different.

I am trying to do this with a shared pref but it is not working.

In the receiver I do:

      SharedPreferences sharedPreferences =
context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
      sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean("changed", true);
      sharedPreferences.edit().commit();

Then when i start my app I check like so:

         sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME,
MODE_PRIVATE);
         if (sharedPreferences.getBoolean("changed", false)){
            hasChanged = true;
            sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean("changed", false);
            sharedPreferences.edit().commit();
         }


This does not work.  If I download the file from the emulator after
the receiver has triggered it is empty.  It exists but there is no key
value pair.

What am I doing wrong?  Is there a better way to flag my app to run
differently on next startup?

Any help???
