SharedPreferences not saving in some Android versions

Question

Following is the code I used to save SharedPreference:

SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();

editor.putString("deliveryId", obj.get("deliveryId").toString());
editor.commit();

This is not working in some devices, but working in some devices. It is working on KitKat but doesn't work on JellyBean and Lollipop.

Following is the code I used to get the data:

SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
String deliveryId = preferences.getString("deliveryId", "0");

Always gives the default value, i.e. 0, on some devices.

instead of default shared prefs, use a key to get them [in the common way](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5950109/4700782) — Pier Giorgio Misley, Oct 04 '16 at 10:29
Either the `obj.get("deliveryId").toString()` computes to "0" or you need to uninstall previous APK + install a clean build. — Sufian, Oct 04 '16 at 10:31
`getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext())` AND `.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)`. Please tell what kind of contexts you use. — greenapps, Oct 04 '16 at 12:48
@irfan. `irfan` ? Can we expect an `IrfanView` for Android ;-)? — greenapps, Oct 04 '16 at 12:50

I think default preference creating problem for you try like below for saving SharedPreferences

SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("<Pref Name>", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();

editor.putString("deliveryId", obj.get("deliveryId").toString());
editor.commit();

to get the data:

SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("<Pref Name>", MODE_PRIVATE);
String deliveryId = preferences.getString("deliveryId", "0");

Happy Coding!

Why is this better than **getDefaultSharedPreferences**? – IgorGanapolsky Dec 07 '16 at 14:32

@IgorGanapolsky frankly speaking, i do not have exact idea why not to use getDefaultSharedPreferences but you can go through below link for more details https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14359 – Shrenik Shah Feb 02 '17 at 05:04
