Buried in the doc on class <Activity> is this paragraph. "To use preferences that are shared across multiple application components (activities, receivers, services, providers), you can use the underlying Context.getSharedPreferences() method to retrieve a preferences object stored under a specific name. (Note that it is not possible to share settings data across application packages -- for that you will need a content provider.)"
It may have something to do with the Context-s in your A and B. Are they the same? Alternately you could pass B's data back and let A do all the updating.
