Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="16dp" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <EditText android:id="@+id/etEmail" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="20dp" android:ems="10" android:hint="Email" android:inputType="textEmailAddress" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/etName" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:hint="Name" android:inputType="text" /> <Button android:layout_marginTop="50dp" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:onClick="Save" android:text="Save" /> <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:onClick="Clear" android:text="Clear Data" /> <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:onClick="Retrieve" android:text="Retrieve Data" /> </LinearLayout>

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.content.Context; import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { EditText etName, etEmail; SharedPreferences sharedPreferences; public static final String myPreference = "myPref"; public static final String Name = "nameKey"; public static final String Email = "emailKey"; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); etName = findViewById(R.id.etName); etEmail = findViewById(R.id.etEmail); sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(myPreference, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); if (sharedPreferences.contains(Name)) { etName.setText(sharedPreferences.getString(Name, "")); } if (sharedPreferences.contains(Email)) { etEmail.setText(sharedPreferences.getString(Email, "")); } } public void Clear(View view) { etName = findViewById(R.id.etName); etEmail = findViewById(R.id.etEmail); etName.setText(""); etEmail.setText(""); Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Cleared", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } public void Retrieve(View view) { etName = findViewById(R.id.etName); etEmail = findViewById(R.id.etEmail); sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(myPreference, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); if (sharedPreferences.contains(Name)) { etName.setText(sharedPreferences.getString(Name, "")); } if (sharedPreferences.contains(Email)) { etEmail.setText(sharedPreferences.getString(Email, "")); } Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Retrieved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } public void Save(View view) { String name = etName.getText().toString(); String email = etEmail.getText().toString(); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit(); editor.putString(Name, name); editor.putString(Email, email); editor.apply(); Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }
