I'm trying to used sharedpreferences for when a user chooses a specific custom image they want in their storage for a part of a grid of images. I want the image they chose to show up even after they close the application and reopen it. The problem I'm having is that the sharedpreferences don't seem to be working. Nothing shows up as the background image for the grid item they've selected once they've closed the app or even just pressed the back button.
Do I have to create a sharedpreferences file myself? I can't figure out how to get to it or create one if so using androidstudio.
Here's my code for the class (Sorry if it's long and messy...I am new to coding and still testing things):

You are using SharedPreferences correctly but you are not placing the code in the right activity lifecycle methods. You are reading the preference on onCreate() and saving on onStop() so maybe what you can do it save the preference on onPause() (to make sure it gets saved earlier) and reload on onResume() instead of onCreate() (the latter only occurs once in the life cycle of an activity).
Also, you might want to check if Context.getSharedPreferences() would be a better choice for this, since it's shared between more than just one activity.

I created an application which pairs a cellphone to a bluetooth module.
i tested this application with a 4.2 android cellphone and it worked quite well but in cellphones with android higher than 6 the device is not fidning anything when i press " Scan for new devices " button.
but when i go through my phone bluetooth itself, i can find the module i was looking for..

in an article i studied about this issue and find out that with this code :
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(context,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
1);
i can make the application to support phones with android more than 6 so i can discover all nearby devices and pair with them,
The issue is, i don't know where should i exactly use this code..
i would really appreciate if you could tell me where to use it within the codes i showed here.
or simply tell me how to overcome this problem with any other code you may know.
In your AndroidManifest.xml file add this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
Then, instead of calling registerReceiver call this function:
private tryRegisterReceiver() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Here, permission is not granted
// after calling requestPermissions, the result must be treated in onRequestPermissionResult
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
1000); // 100 or other desired code
} else {
// Permission has already been granted
// continue registering your receiver
registerReceiver();
}
}
To treat the result of the permission request
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 1000: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted
// continue registering your receiver
registerReceiver();
} else {
// permission denied
// show a message or finish your activity
}
return;
}
// other 'case' for other permissions if needed
}
}
Android bluetooth app crashes while trying to send data via bluetooth. I was able to turn on, make discoverable, and show paired devices. But, it crashes when i attempt the send file button. Im getting these errors in my Debugger.

I am working on a barcode scanner App where on button click in the first Activity, I am moving to the BarcodeScanner Activity where I am importing Zxing library functionalities. Once the scanning is completed, I am moving to a 3rd Activity where I am showing the scanned Results. On clicking a button in the 3rd activity, i am coming back to the 1st activity. For devices having Marshmallow, the code is running fine. But the issue is happening with devices having versions below marshmallow where after going back to the 1st activity from the 3rd Activity, when i am pressing again the button, the scanner activity is appearing but the camera is not starting. It just showing a blank page. Please help. Below I am posting my codes for all 3 Activities.
First Activity:

You can write Intent in OnActivityResult.
// Call Back method to get the Message form other Activity
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
// check if the request code is same as what is passed here it is 2
if(requestCode==2)
{
String message=data.getStringExtra("MESSAGE");
textView1.setText(message);
}
}

You access SharedPreferences in the onCreate() of your MainActivity, which is only called when that activity is created from scratch (i.e. when you first start your app). As you (presumably) navigate to and from your Prefsetting Activity fairly quickly, MainActivity is likely only in a paused or stopped state when it is resumed. Take a look at the diagram here to see what happens to Activity classes as they move into and out of the foreground.
You have a couple of options. Either place this:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
SharedPreferences getprefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
boolean stopshake = getprefs.getBoolean("checkbox", true);
if (stopshake) {
mShaker = new ShakeListener(this);
mShaker.setOnShakeListener(new ShakeListener.OnShakeListener () {
public void onShake() {
if (!isFlashOn) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "On" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
getCamera();
turnOnFlash();
} else {
turnOffFlash();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Off" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
} else {
if (mShaker != null) {
mShaker.setOnShakeListener(null);
mShaker = null;
}
}
}
Into somewhere like onResume().
Or, use an EventBus like LocalBrodcastManager to update your Preferences when onPause() is called in your PreferenceActivity.
From the code snippet it appears that you never actually commit your changes to the SharedPreferences of the application. Somewhere in the code when that boolean is flipped you need to do something like this:
prefs.put("checkbox", currentBooleanState).commit();
I'm using a broadcastreceiver in my DrawerActivity in which i can receive a notification from a service and then i would set the text of notification in a layout that is in a fragment (The first fragment of the navigation drawer). So my DrawerActivity is where i start the broadcastreceiver (i tried start it directly from the fragment but it doesn't work!) So this is the broadcastreceiver:
public BroadcastReceiver onNotice= new BroadcastReceiver() {
LinearLayout notificationLayout;
Drawable icon;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final String pack = intent.getStringExtra("package");
String title = intent.getStringExtra("title");
String text = intent.getStringExtra("text");
View myView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);
notificationLayout = (LinearLayout)myView.findViewById(R.id.notificationLayout);
TextView notificationDescription = (TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.notificationDesc);
TextView notificationTitle = (TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.notificationTitle);
CircularImageView notificationImage = (CircularImageView) myView.findViewById(R.id.img_thumbnail);
Log.i("Notification ", title);
Toast.makeText(DrawerActivity.this, title, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if(!pack.equals("") || !title.equals("") || !text.equals("")) {
notificationLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
notificationTitle.setText("Ciao");
notificationDescription.setText(text);
try {
icon = DrawerActivity.this.getPackageManager().getApplicationIcon(pack);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
notificationImage.setImageDrawable(icon);
notificationLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
try {
PackageManager pmi = DrawerActivity.this.getPackageManager();
Intent intent;
intent = pmi.getLaunchIntentForPackage(pack);
if (intent != null) {
DrawerActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
}
//LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(MainActivity.instance).sendBroadcast(new Intent("collapseAfterClick"));
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}
}
});
notificationLayout.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
notificationLayout.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
return true;
}
});
} else {
notificationLayout.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}
};
in this way it's very strange!!! When a notification arrives the toast inside the Broadcastrecevier is fired but the settext in the inflate layout not! So i can see the notification from the Toast but not in my layout! How is possible?
The issue is the code doesnt enter the if statement.
*if(!pack.equals("") || !title.equals("") || !text.equals(""))*
