How do you save/store objects in SharedPreferences on Android?

You can use gson.jar to store class objects into SharedPreferences. You can download this jar from google-gson

Or add the GSON dependency in your Gradle file:

implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'

Creating a shared preference:

SharedPreferences mPrefs = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE);
To save:

MyObject myObject = new MyObject;
//set variables of 'myObject', etc.


Editor prefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(myObject);
prefsEditor.putString("MyObject", json);
prefsEditor.commit();

To retrieve:

Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = mPrefs.getString("MyObject", "");
MyObject obj = gson.fromJson(json, MyObject.class);
