Saving data with Shared Preferences in Android Studio (Kotlin 2020)

In this video I'll be showing you how to save very basic (primitive) data using Shared Preferences, and I found it much easier to do in Kotlin, although it's really the same thing.

As always, if you have any questions, or requests for future videos, leave them in the comment section and I'll try to make a video about it!

I have watched tutorials for around 15 years now about many many many stuffs, never seen one as good as this one. Precise, quick, prefect... ty

[nakajimakuro]

Quick, straightforward. Best tutorial ever!

[actualnatural]

I believe this is exactly what I need for my app. Thanks for a short but sweet primer!

[JohnoOz]

Great! I really like the idea that it's about the technique and you don't spend ages setting up a basic app. Many thanks.

I'm convinced you deserve more followers and more likes. I like your videos! Keep going

You saved my day and saved me a lot of stress. Straight forward and quick to the point without BS jargons. Sir, where is the link wher I can buy you a coffee ;)

[JulianGonzalez-ejfi]

Thank you for making it simple and it worked right off the bat.

[Olcay]

I love these short tutorials! Thank you very much saved me 10 mins

Another great short tutorial, with important information. Yes, even with a simple string text you can do a lot. I like to write out arrays of data with comma separation to a single string, then load in the string and split that data by finding those commas and re-iterate it to a list. I commonly write in C languages but I think the concept can be applied to kotlin.

I had a heck of a time finding this AND it is exactly what I needed, perfect ~ thank you. I did have to massage it a bit to work with Kotlin (in Android Studio 4.2.2). I have a question for you. How would a person display their saved string with a % sign or a $ sign, appended automatically? Or any other static text for that matter?

[eitansharabi]

thx allot, do you maybe have a video on how i can save more complex data types like an ArrayList<CustomClass>

[marioagrataboada]

I fucking love it man, thank you so much. I needed this

[lucianrekkless]

Thanks a lot man! As always very clear and constructed tutorial. Can you also create a video about using a new jetpack dataStore in Java for login session (storing user acount details)?

[strbusta]

Great tutorial. Any idea though how to make it work in a viewmodel? Can't seem to find anything on this anywhere.

Can this be used alongside Firestore? I intend to use Shared Preferences to retain the state of some TextViews, and Firestore to store, and send data between users.

[yagizsen]

how would I be able to save a global int value and pass it to the private function?

[Augusto]

Loved it! Thank you!!!

Finally some taste of saving something inside the app. 😅

I'm starting in Kotlin programming and now I'm quite motivated to learn more about how to save data.

Oh, and I'll try your MVVM playlist, so thanks again!

[jeremiemlb]

Hey can you do a video to enter data from a second activity and to always show the saved data on the main screen

[sebastian]

This is the best shared preferences tutorial I ever found but I have a error, I put it in a fragment and it "works" but when a press the button for take me to the fragment my app closes, I put the debug mode and when a press the button there is a error saying "tv_text don't be null" do you know what can I do? Please help
