How to save Icon from PackageName to shared preference in String format and then I can restore the string from preference and set it into my image

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getActivity().getSharedPreferences("MyPrefGameAppProgram", MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
                editor.putString("GameProgram"+CounterGameProgram, p.applicationInfo.loadLabel(getActivity().getPackageManager()).toString()+ "%" +p.packageName+ "%" +p.versionName+ "%" +p.versionCode+ "%" + p.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getActivity().getPackageManager()););
                editor.apply();

set it again

for(int i=1; i<=Integer.parseInt(TotalGameProgram); i++){
        String currentStringX = prefsx.getString("GameProgram"+i, "No Data");
        String[] separatedX = currentStringX.split("%");
        String appnameX = separatedX[0];
        String apppackagenameX = separatedX[1];
        String appversionnameX = separatedX[2];
        int appversioncodeX = Integer.parseInt(separatedX[3]);
        /*String appiconX = separatedX[4];*/


        /*modelMyAppsInstalledApps.add(new ModelMyAppsInstalledApps(appnameX, apppackagenameX, appversionnameX, appversioncodeX, appiconX));*/
    }

Iam struggling because the icon format that I got from that library is Drawable so I can't save it to preference, Any solution?

Yes, instead of applicationInfo.loadIcon use applicationInfo.icon which return int drawable id and save this id in preference.

To get drawable from this id use PackageManager like:

Resources res = getPackageManager.getResourcesForApplication(p.applicationInfo);
Drawable icon = res.getDrawable(<drawable_id>);
