Try this

SharedPreferences prefs= context.getSharedPreferences(prefName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        String key =(prefs.getString(VALUE_KEY,""));

And you must have to pass context to DBHelper.

For accessing getSharedPreferences method in DBHelper class you will need to pass Context using DBHelper class constructor as:

 private context;

 public DBHelper(Context context){
  this.context=context;
 }

Now use context to call getSharedPreferences method as:

SharedPreferences prefs=context.getSharedPreferences(prefName, 
                                               Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String key =(prefs.getString(VALUE_KEY,""));
