Android: using SharedPreferences in a library
android, class, java, sharedpreferences
Solution
The most easiest way would be to include the context as a parameter of your Lib constructor and pass the application context from the point where your Lib is created.
If you search for a static way of how to do it have a look at this: Accessing SharedPreferences through static methods
But IMHO the first solution would be the best.
Problem
I made a library that I use across my app. I want it to access some settings that are stored in the shared preferences. This is a shortened version of my library: ``` package com.android.foobar; import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.preference.PreferenceManager; public class Lib { int now; public Lib() { SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); now = settings.getInt("now", 435); } public int foo(){ return now; } } ``` I've been looking for an answer and experimenting, but I can't find a valid context to pass to getDefaultSharedPreferences(). Any ideas?
