SharedPreferences.getStringSet() not found?

Question

There's something that I don't understand with SharedPreference.

In this document it says that the getStringSet() method is supported from API 1. But I found no method like that. I use API 8 for my apps. What's happening here? Is it not supported anymore?

ps : There's no difference with the SharedPreference.Editor. There's no putStringSet() in the editor class.

screenshot : look.. no getStringSet()

public abstract Set getStringSet (String key, Set defValues) Since: API Level 11

In the typeface they use I often mistake the 11 for a 1, too.

Perhaps you shouldn't use the preferences to store them. – dmon Apr 30 '11 at 18:19

@dmon: if not preferences for something this trivial, then what? – IgorGanapolsky Apr 11 '12 at 15:19
For my case it was sufficient to serialize/deserialize an array to/from a string using `TextUtils.join(delimiter, array)` and `TextUtils.split(string, delimiter)` – dooleyo May 12 '15 at 21:07
