Android Shared preferences for creating one time activity

Question

I have three actions, A, B, and C, with A and B being forms that must be filled out and the data saved in the database (SQLite). I'm using an intent that goes from A to B, then from B to C. What I want is for C to always be my home screen instead of A and B whenever I start my app.

I suppose shared preferences would be appropriate for this, but I am at a loss for a reasonable beginning point. We would appreciate any assistance.

Answer 1

Android offers a variety of options for storing application data. Shared Preferences is the name of one of these methods. Data in the form of a key-value pair can be saved and retrieved using Shared Preferences.

You must use the method getSharedPreferences(), which returns a SharedPreference instance pointing to the file containing the preferences' values, in order to use shared preferences.

SharedPreferences sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
