Adding values from a arrayList to shared Preference

Question

Is it possible for me to store and retrieve my ArrayList values using shared preference. Can anyone suggest me with an example.

It looks like the closest the SharedPreferences can do is save a Set of Strings. If that doesn't suit you should probably look at the alternatives for persisting data.

You can refer to this : http://androidcodemonkey.blogspot.com/2011/07/store-and-get-object-in-android-shared.html (Thanks to Greg Zimmers that give this tutorial).

The idea is you encapsulate the ArrayList to an Object and then you can refer to link tutorial that I give above and follow the tutorial. If you want to retrieve the ArrayList, you can get the Object and then you retrieve the ArrayList from the Object.
