MM> SharedPreferences are persistent, assuming that you use commit() or apply(). Please correct me if/when I use incorrect terms. I am using getDefaultSharedPreferences to access my preference keys from my Preference Screens and to get/set certain keys state data. I am committing these preferences as per standard practice. The call to getDefaultSharedPreferences takes a context. Depending on where I am making the call, the context that I am passing is either: 1) A 'this' pointer from a Preference Activity 2) A 'this' pointer from a Service 3) The 'context' parameter passed into the onReceive method of my AppWidgetProvider subclass. Am I making a fundamental mistake in how this is supposed to be done? You've already told me that when the application is recreated it gets a new context. If so, how are preferences persisted across recreations of my application if the "key" to those preferences are the context? -- Jake Colman -- Android Tinkerer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
