when we use shared preferences code example

Example 1: store data in sharedpreferences android

// MY_PREFS_NAME - a static String variable like: 
//public static final String MY_PREFS_NAME = "MyPrefsFile";
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences(MY_PREFS_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
 editor.putString("name", "Elena");
 editor.putInt("idName", 12);
 editor.apply();

Example 2: set preference value android

boolean committed = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(yourContext).edit().putBoolean(key, mValue).commit();
//you can also use putInt, putFloat, putLong, putString, putStringSet and change the value of mValue
//committed is true if everything went alright, false if there was an error
