Question

I have developed a login form (username,password and submit button) using a MySQL connection through soap webservices in my android application.Here I wish to add a “remember password field”.
I have written this code in the XML resource for the activity:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/tf_userName"
    android:layout_width="194dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="106dp"
    android:layout_y="80dp" >

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="23dp"
    android:layout_y="93dp"
    android:text="User name" />



<EditText
    android:id="@+id/tf_password"
    android:layout_width="189dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="108dp"
    android:layout_y="161dp"
    android:inputType="textPassword" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/TextView01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="23dp"
    android:layout_y="176dp"
    android:text="Password" />
   <CheckBox android:layout_below="@+id/passwordview"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="Remember Password!"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/rempasswordcheckbox" 
    android:layout_x="23dp"
    android:layout_y="200dp" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_login"
    android:layout_width="106dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="50dp"
    android:layout_y="273dp"
    android:text="Login" />
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/TextView03"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="50dp"
    android:layout_y="350dp"
    android:text="Forget My password ?: Click here" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_reg"
    android:layout_width="106dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="175dp"
    android:layout_y="273dp"
    android:text="Register" />
 <Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_logout"
    android:layout_width="106dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="215dp"
    android:layout_y="25dp"
    android:text="Logout" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv_status"
    android:layout_width="151dp"
    android:layout_height="38dp"
    android:layout_x="26dp"
    android:layout_y="234dp"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

my Login.java file is:

           }



    catch(Exception e){

    }
   }

   }

But how do I create the Java code? I can’t seem to be able to do this. Please guide me.

If YourCheckBox found isChecked()==true

at the time of Login button onClick

Just save the username and password to SharedPreference.

Declare PREFRENCES_NAME = "Name You Like"
Save Data:-

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFRENCES_NAME, 0);
settings.edit().putString("name", strName).putString("pwd", strPass).commit();


Retrieve Data:-

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFRENCES_NAME, 0);
String name = settings.getString("name", "");
String password = settings.getString("pwd", "");


Clear Data:-

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(
PREFRENCES_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
settings.edit().clear().commit();
