Michael,
Sorry but I don't understand your example. You are specifying MODE_PRIVATE
which is what I am doing...
SharedPreferences myMemory = getSharedPreferences("myMemory", MODE_PRIVATE);
Are you saying that if I specify "| 0x4" (don't know what that means) that
it will be the same as specifying MODE_MULTI_PROCESS?
btw, I'm targeting 2.33 gingerbread.
