How can I get my sharedpreferences to work correctly?

john c :

I'm having trouble getting my sharedpreferences to work. I'm trying to load in data from a textbox in another activity into a textview. I don't get any errors, but it keeps returning the default value of "nameKey".

Here is where the data is being entered and saved

public class ActivitySettings extends AppCompatActivity {

 SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
final String MyPREFERENCES = "MyPrefs";
final String Name = "nameKey";


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);
    Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    final EditText enterName1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName1); 
    final EditText enterName2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName2); 

    Button btnOK = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnOK);
    final SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

    btnOK.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String n = enterName1.getText().toString();

    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
    editor.putString(Name, n);
    editor.commit();

        }
    });

and here's a different activity where i'm trying to read in the data and set it to a textview

public class ActivityDuel extends AppCompatActivity {

public String getPrefs(String n, Context context) {
    SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    return preferences.getString(n, "nameKey");
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_duel);
    Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    final TextView txtD1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtD1);
    txtD1.setText(getPrefs("name", this));
}
}

Sajith :

Call like this

 txtD1.setText(getPrefs("nameKey", this));

And your getPrefs() function should like below

public String getPrefs(String n, Context context) {
  SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
  return preferences.getString(n, "");
}
