Cant find a way to delete an item from sharedPreferences

I am trying to delete an item from taskList which is connected to sharedPreferences.
I managed to remove all items but the problem is I cant find a way to connect a counter to delete an individual item from a list that has a switch and when this switch is on true I need to remove the item from list by index number.
public class TaskAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
//transfer context
Context context;
//transfer user to use for shared preferences
String userName;
//create a list of tasks.....
List<taskItem> myTasks;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
PendingIntent pendingIntent;
int pos;
//constructor, for creating the adapter we need from the user context and userName
public TaskAdapter(Context context, String userName) {
this.context = context;
this.userName = userName;
//go to user shared preferences and fill the list
getData();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
//how many item to display
#Override
public int getCount() {
//return the myTasks size....
return myTasks.size();
}
//return a specific item by index
#Override
public Object getItem(int i) {
return myTasks.get(i);
}
//return index number
#Override
public long getItemId(int i) {
return i;
}
//create our view
#Override
public View getView(final int index, final View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
//inflate the view inside view object -> viewInflated
final View viewInflated = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.task_item, null, false);
//set our inflated view behavior
//set pointer for our inflated view
//set pointer for task name....
final TextView txtTaskName = (TextView) viewInflated.findViewById(R.id.taskName);
//set pointer for taskInfo
final TextView txtTaskInfo = (TextView) viewInflated.findViewById(R.id.taskInfo);
//set pointer for task status....
final Switch swTask = (Switch) viewInflated.findViewById(taskDone);
//set task name, by the index of my myTasks collection
txtTaskName.setText(myTasks.get(index).taskName);
//set task info, by index of myTasks collection
txtTaskInfo.setText(myTasks.get(index).taskInfo);
//set task status , switch is getting true/false
swTask.setChecked(myTasks.get(index).taskStatus);
//show date and time dialog

setListData();
}
});
//display our inflated view in screen
builder.setView(viewInflated);
//show the dialog
builder.show();
}
}
Sorry for the long code but I have spent so much time on that problem and didnt find a normal way to fix it...
Thanks in advance guys, much appreciated!

taskEditor.remove('item tag');
taskEditor.commit();

Guess my question wasnt clear enough but I have found a way to do that.
if(!taskDone){
String myData = taskName+","+taskInfo+","+(taskDone?"1":"0");
taskEditor.putString(taskName,myData);
//apply the changes
taskEditor.commit();
}
else
{
taskEditor.remove(taskName);
taskEditor.commit();
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Eventhough its not perfect because I can refresh the view after I update the Editor and only after I restart the app my last deleted tasks disappear.
Cheers and thanks a lot guys!

Monitoring Voice in my android app

Iam making an android app which monitor voice in which when the voice loudness exceed a user defined threshold the app dial a specific number .
i done making voice monitoring and compared the highest value with the threshold then dialling the number .everything goes right except when the app returned after the call i find the monitoring isnt right , as the mic sensitivity is very week (measurement is very low ) i have to restart the app to obtain the right measurement , the second question here i make the comparison of the threshold and the last value of sound in the handler at the bottom , is this the right way ? thanks in advanceThis is the App image

Message chat doesn't work well

With my app I send a message and a notification from my smartphone (called PHONE1) to another (called PHONE2). The message is received by PHONE2. PHONE2 send a reply message to PHONE1. PHONE1 receive a notification and read the message. PHONE1 send a reply message to PHONE2 and app crashes.

Thank you in advance for the help.

The problem is that your Timer is using a background thread, and you're trying to update your ChatArrayAdapter from that background thread.
From the documentation:
Corresponding to each Timer object is a single background thread that
is used to execute all of the timer's tasks, sequentially.
If you keep your code as is for the Timer:
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
#Override
public void run() {
receiveChatMessage();
}
}, 0, 1000);
It looks like you just need to put the code that adds an item to the adapter on the UI Thread:
private boolean receiveChatMessage() {
InternalDatabaseOperations DB = new InternalDatabaseOperations(this);
Cursor CR = DB.getInformation(DB);
CR.moveToLast();
from = CR.getString(0);
to = CR.getString(1);
if(!Objects.equals(mess, CR.getString(2))){
mess = CR.getString(2);
//modified:
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
chatArrayAdapter.add(new ChatMessage(!side, mess));
}
});
CR.close(); //close your cursor to avoid memory leaks!
return true;
}
CR.close(); //close your cursor to avoid memory leaks!
return false;
}

The below code is downloading images from a database showing into an sdcard. When previewing it was showing images.

This will be the best approach for your Solution,Try using Universal Image Loader.
Features:
Multithread image loading (async or sync)
Wide customization of ImageLoader's configuration (thread executors, downloader, decoder, memory and disk cache, display image options, etc.)
Many customization options for every display image call (stub images, caching switch, decoding options, Bitmap processing and displaying, etc.)
Image caching in memory and/or on disk (device's file system or SD card)
Listening loading process (including downloading progress)

Application always calls onCreate() when the phone is locked and unlocked

Is there any way to save the state of the application because the application calls onCreate() everytime the android phone is locked. When I unlocked it, the app calls the onCreate() method and start again.. BTW my app is like text twist. When I unlock the screen a new word is shown, instead of the current one.. The score is also reset as well as the time.. How can I work on this? Please help.. It's still unanswered..
This is the whole code of my activity..

This question answers your question.
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/index.html

Please use the onPause() and onResume() methods in your main Activity to solve this problem. If both method aren't defined, your app will go to the next methods in the lifecycle, which will be onCreate() and other methods. Read more here.
It is also possible to save your current instance by using onSaveInstance(Bundle b) and onRestoreInstance(Bundle b)
PS: someone has asked it earlier, and wrote a small example to use the onSaveInstance and onRestoreInstance (if you want to use it) here.
