Hello,
I know this is really basic but I am trying to get to grips with preferences. I have defined an xml file and started a PreferenceActivity to read that XML file so as to create and store some preference key-value pairs. However this is in activity B. In activity A which launched B I also want to read preferences. The android documentation has: SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0); at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#pref http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/PreferenceActivity.html but since I didn't defined a PREFS_NAME in the PreferenceActivity (activity B) I really don't know what to use in activity A as the name. Furthermore, what's the point of having more than one preference file per application? What's a practical example of this? Thanks for your help, John Goche <http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#pref> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
