How To Keep SharedPreferences Values When Android App Killed

Question

I am working an android project. I want to push notification when android app killed. So, I am creating BroadcastReceiver and Service class. They are working. But, I have a problem.

This problem is, when user login my app; I stroge this values with SharedPreferences. But, when I killed app, this SharedPreferences take "null" value.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.lang.String android.content.SharedPreferences.getString(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

When I search, people said: "editor.clear();" but it doesn't work. What can I do?

My Login Class:

public static SharedPreferences UserDetailsSP,

UserDetailsSP = getSharedPreferences("UserDetails", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor UserDetailsPreferencessEdit = UserDetailsSP .edit();
UserDetailsPreferencessEdit.clear();
UserDetailsPreferencessEdit.putString("UserName", A);
UserDetailsPreferencessEdit.commit();

I call other java class with this:

String a1 = Login.UserDetailsSP.getString("UserName","A");

your Login Class is activity? else u will need to pass context to create SharedPreference obj. — ZarNi Myo Sett Win, Jul 10 '19 at 08:25
@ZarNiMyoSettWin Yes, Login is activity; calling java class is not activity just java class. — designanddevelop, Jul 10 '19 at 08:26

You this approach create a SessionManager class
public class AppPrefrences {

        private static SharedPreferences mPrefs;
        private static SharedPreferences.Editor mPrefsEditor;
public AppPrefrences(Context context)
{
    int PRIVATE_MODE = 0;
    pref = context.getSharedPreferences("UserDetails", PRIVATE_MODE);
    editor = pref.edit();
    editor.apply();
}

        public static boolean isUserLoggedOut() {

            return mPrefs.getBoolean("id_logged_in", false);
        }

        public static void setUserLoggedOut(Boolean value) {

            mPrefsEditor.putBoolean("id_logged_in", value);
            mPrefsEditor.commit();
        }

public static String getUserName() {

        return mPrefs.getString("userName", "");
    }

    public static void setUserName(String value) {

        mPrefsEditor.putString("userName", value);
        mPrefsEditor.commit();
    }

    public static void clearAllPreferences()
    {

       mPrefsEditor.clear();
       mPrefsEditor.commit();
   }
  }


Inside your activity
AppPrefrences sess = new AppPrefrences(this);
sess.setUserName("A");

you can create a shared preference class like this:-

    public class AppPrefrences {

            private static SharedPreferences mPrefs;
            private static SharedPreferences.Editor mPrefsEditor;

            public static boolean isUserLoggedOut(Context ctx) {
                mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
                return mPrefs.getBoolean("id_logged_in", true);
            }

            public static void setUserLoggedOut(Context ctx, Boolean value) {
                mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
                mPrefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
                mPrefsEditor.putBoolean("id_logged_in", value);
                mPrefsEditor.commit();
            }

    public static String getUserName(Context ctx) {
            mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
            return mPrefs.getString("userName", "");
        }

        public static void setUserName(Context ctx, String value) {
            mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
            mPrefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
            mPrefsEditor.putString("userName", value);
            mPrefsEditor.commit();
        }

public static void clearAllPreferences(Context ctx) {
        mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
        mPrefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
        mPrefsEditor.clear();
        mPrefsEditor.commit();
    }
        }

and when you login in your app then set the value like this:-

setUserLoggedOut(YourActivity.class, false);

and set a check on splash screen like this:-

if (isUserLoggedOut(StartActivity.this)) {
                    startActivity(new Intent(StartActivity.this, LoginActivity.class));
                    finish();
                } else {
                    startActivity(new Intent(StartActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
                    finish();
                }
