What's the best way to store an id in local?

Question

I'm coding an Android application. I need to store the id of a user in local in order that he doesn't have to rewrite its name, surname and password every time he uses the application. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 2

You can use Shared Preferences to store id

Code to save value

 public static final String MyPREFERENCES = "MyPrefs" ;

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

 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();

        editor.putString("id", 1);
      /*editor.putString("Key", value); */
        editor.commit();

Code to get value

 String id = sharedpreferences.getString("id", "");
/*sharedpreferences.getString("key", "defaultValue"); */

Hope this will help you
