[android] How do you save/store objects in SharedPreferences on Android?

So many good answers, her are my 2 cents

i prefer to use inline function and old style of put and get value

object PreferenceHelper {

    private const val PREFERENCES_KEY = "MyLocalPreference"

    private fun getPreference(context: Context): SharedPreferences {
        return context.getSharedPreferences(
            PREFERENCES_KEY,
            Context.MODE_PRIVATE
        )
    }

    fun setBoolean(appContext: Context, key: String?, value: Boolean?) =
        getPreference(appContext).edit().putBoolean(key, value!!).apply()

    fun setInteger(appContext: Context, key: String?, value: Int) =
        getPreference(appContext).edit().putInt(key, value).apply()

    fun setFloat(appContext: Context, key: String?, value: Float) =
        getPreference(appContext).edit().putFloat(key, value).apply()

    fun setString(appContext: Context, key: String?, value: String?) =
        getPreference(appContext).edit().putString(key, value).apply()

    // To retrieve values from shared preferences:
    fun getBoolean(appContext: Context, key: String?, defaultValue: Boolean?): Boolean =
        getPreference(appContext).getBoolean(key, defaultValue!!)

    fun getInteger(appContext: Context, key: String?, defaultValue: Int): Int =
        getPreference(appContext)
            .getInt(key, defaultValue)

    fun getString(appContext: Context, key: String?, defaultValue: String?): String? =
        getPreference(appContext)
            .getString(key, defaultValue)


}

Usage

PreferenceHelper.setString(context,"CUSTOMER_NAME", "HITESH")

Toast.makeText(context, "Hello " + PreferenceHelper.getString(context,"CUSTOMER_NAME", "User"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
