Where do you use sh_edit? I don't see any code that updates the SharedPreferences. — Daniel Nugent, Mar 14 '15 at 05:22

After save display name in database, again put that code where you saving shared preferences with same key, it will replace your display name in shared preference. eg. To Save:

SharedPreferences mPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
mPreferences.edit().putString("DISPLAY_NAME",user_display_name).commit();

To Retrieve:

SharedPreferences mPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
String display_name = mPreferences.getString("DISPLAY_NAME","Default Name");

please fix your code. `getStringExtra()` is not in SharedPrefs, it's just `getString()`. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html – Daniel Nugent Mar 14 '15 at 06:44
Also, mPreferences.edit.putString won't work. should be `edit()`. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3624280/how-to-use-sharedpreferences-in-android-to-store-fetch-and-edit-values/11027631#11027631 – Daniel Nugent Mar 14 '15 at 06:56
yes it should mPreferences.edit().putString(), spelling mistake – Rahul Sharma Mar 14 '15 at 06:57
