I'm new to Android development, maybe this is a dumb question, but please help me. I get this error when trying to save a value of type int.
Called: java.lang.NullPointerException: attempt to call the virtual method 'android.content.SharedPreferences android.content.Context.getSharedPreferences (java.lang.String, int)' to reference an empty object
And here is my code
SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("com.example.app", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String value = "com.example.app.value";
int i = prefs.getInt(value, 0);
And for the record
prefs.edit().putInt(number, i).apply();
I just want to set SharedPreferences and want to read it first and write to Activity. How can I solve this?
EDIT
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
SharedPreferences sharedpreferences;
public static final String MyPREFERENCES = "myprefs";
public static final String value = "key";
int i = sharedpreferences.getInt(value, 0);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
public void sendMessage(View view) {
i += 1;
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
editor.putInt(value, i);
editor.apply();
}
I managed to save the settings in another way, but I could not read them in MainActivity, it extends the Activity class.
