Store Value in SharedPreference across Activities

Question

I am new in Android, and got a task to develop a small project to submit in my college, i have tried my best but now i need some help

Let me tell you first, what i am trying to do ?

I have two Activities, MainActivity and AccountActivity

In MainActivity i am using button to switch to AccountActivity

In AccountActivity i am trying to store strBalance value in SharedPreference but whenever i do click on back button and then again come to AccountActivity always getting "1000" not that value which i have stored in SharedPreference.

Here is the complete code of AccountActivity.java:-

public class AccountActivity extends Activity {

    EditText editAmount;
    int strAmount;
    Button btnPayment;
    TextView textBalance;
    int strBalance; 

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_account);      

        editAmount = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editAmt);
        btnPayment = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPay);
        textBalance = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textBalance);

        strBalance = 1000;

        textBalance.setText("Your current balance is: $ "+strBalance);      

        btnPayment.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub              
                SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("MyPref", MODE_PRIVATE);  
                Editor editor = pref.edit();

                strAmount = Integer.parseInt(editAmount.getText().toString().trim()); // user input             

                if(strAmount>strBalance) {
                    Toast.makeText(AccountActivity.this, "You don't have enough balance", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else 
                {
                    strBalance = strBalance - strAmount; // 1000 - 500 = 500
                    textBalance.setText("Your current balance is: $ "+strBalance);  
                    Log.v("strBalance", String.valueOf(strBalance)); // 500
                    editor.putInt("key_balance", strBalance);
                    editor.commit();
                }
            }
        });
    }

}

Use log messages and check whether is it getting saved properly. Print the value of strBalance, before saving and check are you getting proper value. — keshav kowshik, Mar 16 '15 at 06:23
Please post the part of your Main Activity, where you are trying to retrieve saved data. — keshav kowshik, Mar 16 '15 at 06:25

This should work fine:

SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("MyPref", MODE_PRIVATE);
if (pref.getInt("key_balance", 1000) != null) {
    strBalance = pref.getInt("key_balance",1000);
} else {
    strBalance = 1000;
}

Instead of

strBalance = 1000;

Do this,

SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MyPref", MODE_PRIVATE);
       int any_variable = sharedPreferences.getInt("key_balance", 0);

Remove initialisation and do this in your onCreate and then use the new variable as you strBalance.

You did not retrieve data from SharedPreferences

Write your code in onResume() like this:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    // SharedPreferences retrieval code
}
