Question

I’m still on the same app and i am new to programming.

So, the EditText input won’t restore… I wanted to make the app save the Input of the EditText, and when the user starts the app again the EditText input will be restored…

I think I programmed something wrong with the Sharedpreferences, everytime when I click on the button the EditText will be deleted and doesn’t save the input or restore…

What did I wrong?

    AdView ad = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad);
    ad.loadAd(new AdRequest());

    bCalculate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {

     SharedPreferences.Editor ed = mPrefs.edit();

 }

}

Answer 1

//you are saving the data to shared pref only in onPause() method.

BTW when you click the button your are reading the “grade1r” it will be empty so the default value is “” is coming

String rememberedText1 = mPrefs.getString("grade1r", "");

if your want to check the default is printing do like this

String rememberedText1 = mPrefs.getString("grade1r", "myDefault value");
