Shared Preferences are the key value pairs that we can store  They are internal type of storage which means we do not have to create an external database to store it  To see it go to   1  Go to View in the menu bar  Select Tool Windows   2  Click on Device File Explorer   3  Device File Explorer opens up in the right hand side   4  Find the data folder and click on it   5  In the data folder  you can select another data folder   6  Try to search for your package name in this data folder  Ex  com example com  7  Then Click on shared prefs and open the  xml file   Hope this helps
