Saving State of Multiple Checkboxes - Android

Question

I am able to save the state of a Single CheckBox but how do i save All the Five CheckBoxes in my Activity?

  checkBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);

    boolean isChecked = getBooleanFromPreferences("isChecked");
    Log.i("start",""+isChecked);
    checkBox.setChecked(isChecked);
    checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton view, boolean isChecked) {
            Log.i("boolean",""+isChecked);
            Settings.this.putBooleanInPreferences(isChecked,"isChecked");
        }
    });
}
public void putBooleanInPreferences(boolean isChecked,String key){
    SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = this.getPreferences(Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    editor.putBoolean(key, isChecked);
    editor.commit();        
}
public boolean getBooleanFromPreferences(String key){
    SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = this.getPreferences(Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
    Boolean isChecked = sharedPreferences.getBoolean(key, false);
    return isChecked;

Use a Arraylist to store the state of all the checkboxes

Put each one with different name. and remember the key comes first not the value. Call your save method each time with different name

For second checkbox do the following

 boolean isCheckedTwo = getBooleanFromPreferences("isCheckedTwo");

        checkBox2.setChecked(isCheckedTwo );

    checkBox2.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton view, boolean isChecked) {

                Settings.this.putBooleanInPreferences(isChecked,"isCheckedTwo");
            }
        });

and similarly for the rest

Thanks it is working, do you know how to Check a CheckBox by Default? – Registered User Mar 31 '14 at 13:37
you also set android:checked="true" in the xml also – jyomin Apr 01 '14 at 03:48
already tried that, i tried both of the xml attributes but both don't work for me, so the java one works – Registered User Apr 01 '14 at 04:45
