Shared Preferences save more than 1 value at the same time

I'm new to android programming and I was wondering if it's possible to add more than one value in shared preferences at the same time. I have tried the following, but when I try to get the values I can see only the first one. The other value is getting the default value. Can you help me, please?
My code:
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
String string1 = "myString1";
String string2 = "myString2";
editor.putString(string1, string2).apply();
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String string1FromSP = preferences.getString(string1, "default");
String string2FromSP = preferences.getString(string2, "default");
Log.e("Value 1", string1FromSP);
Log.e("Value 2", string2FromSP);

Values in Android SharedPreference gets stored like Key Value pair. And You are trying to store it all together like list or varargs.
So to save the values in Your example
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
String string1 = "myString1";
String string2 = "myString2";
editor.putString("STRING_1", string1).apply();
editor.putString("STRING_2", string2).apply();
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String string1FromSP = preferences.getString("STRING_1", "default");
String string2FromSP = preferences.getString("STRING_2", "default");
Log.e("Value 1", string1FromSP);
Log.e("Value 2", string2FromSP);

Storing a 1D array of strings in Shared Preferences

I have two arrays, the first consists of 9 buttons. The second can hold 9 Strings. I have a method called getPlayerChoiceText to populate the String array with the text that is set on each button from the playerchoice Array. How can I save this text using SharedPreferences?
private String[] getPlayerChoiceText()
{
playerchoiceText[0] = playerchoice[0].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[1] = playerchoice[1].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[2] = playerchoice[2].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[3] = playerchoice[3].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[4] = playerchoice[4].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[5] = playerchoice[5].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[6] = playerchoice[6].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[7] = playerchoice[7].getText().toString();
playerchoiceText[8] = playerchoice[8].getText().toString();
return playerchoiceText;
}
private void saveData()
{
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
playerchoiceText = getPlayerChoiceText();
}

I have got the same problem. I solved it by using JSONArray.
JSONArray choices = new JSONArray();
choices.put("1");
choices.put("2");
choices.put("3");
// Save
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("choices", choices.toString());
// Retrieve
choices = new JSONArray(sharedPreferences.getString("choices", "[]"));
In this way, you can easily do Insert and Delete operations. I hope this helps.

Android's SharedPreferences operates as a key value store, and does not allow you to directly store Java objects. So, representing your player choice text values as a map would make more sense, if you want to store them using shared preferences.
There is one trick you might be able to use here, if you wanted to continue representing your choice texts as an array. You could store the texts using a delimiter, e.g. pipe:
String choices = String.join("|", playerchoiceText);
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(YOUR_PREFS_KEY, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
prefs.edit().putString("choices", choices).apply();
And then, on the way out:
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(YOUR_PREFS_KEY, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String[] playerchoiceText = prefs.getString("choices", "").split("\\|");

Use put/getStringSet():
private void saveData()
{
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
String[] playerchoiceText = getPlayerChoiceText();
editor.putStringSet("player_choice", new HashSet<T>(Arrays.asList(playerchoiceText));
editor.commit();
}

Creating arraylist from a string with shared preferences

I want to know how to take a simple string that is being saved in shared preferences but then save each one of those strings and display them into an array list. The user will save the string once a day. And I want the strings to display as an array list. Here's the code for what I'm working with. I have "physical_fragment.java"(SAVES THE DATA) & "MainActivity.java"(LOADS THE DATA).
PHSYICAL_FRAGMENT.JAVA
public void save(View view){
Date date = new Date();
String stringDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(date);
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MyData", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor =sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("result",String.format(stringDate, date) + " - " + text_view5.getText().toString());
editor.commit();
Toast.makeText(this, "Saved successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
MAINACTIVITY.JAVA
resultPhysical= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.home);
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MyData", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String result= sharedPreferences.getString("result",DEFAULT);
if (result.equals(DEFAULT))
{
Toast.makeText(this, "No data found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else
Toast.makeText(this, "Load Successful", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
resultPhysical.setText(result);
}

I'd say use GSON for that.
To convert a list of strings to JSON to be stored in preferences you use this:
List<String> list = ...
Type type = new TypeToken<List<String>>(){}.getType();
String json = gson.toJson(list, type);
and store json in SharedPreferences using putString.
To read from SharedPreferences you use something like this:
String result = sharedPreferences.getString("result", DEFAULT);
Type type = new TypeToken<List<String>>(){}.getType();
List<String> list = gson.fromJson(result, type);

you can do as follows:
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("MyData", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor =sharedPreferences.edit();
ArratList<String> dataList;
String data = "";
for(String itemData:dataList){
data = itemData + String.format(stringDate, date) + " - " + text_view5.getText().toString()+ "/";
editor.putString(data);
}
editor.commit();
Now get the string from Shared preference and split it.
String result= sharedPreferences.getString("result",DEFAULT);
String[] splited = str.split("/");
This helps with out having support of Libraries which can effect size of apk file

sharedpreferences wont remember values in android

Here is the code where I put the values:
if(soundima == 1){
soundima=0;
editor.putInt("sOn", soundima);
editor.commit();
}
else if(soundima == 0){
soundima=1;
editor.putInt("sOn", soundima);
editor.commit();
}
Then when I quit the application, the values are not remembered. I get the values with this code:
editor = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
soundima = editor.getInt("sOn", 0);

I am not entirely sure why that is not working. However, the following code should solve the problem.
//create a constant to use for the shared preferences
public static final String YOUR_CONSTANT = "Preferences";
Then to place the values in shared preferences, use the following code:
if(soundima == 1){
soundima = 0;
SharedPreferences sound = getSharedPreferences(YOUR_CONSTANT,0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sound.edit();
editor.putInt("sOn", soundima);
editor.commit();
}
else if(soundima == 0){
soundima = 1;
SharedPreferences sound = getSharedPreferences(YOUR_CONSTANT,0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sound.edit();
editor.putInt("sOn", soundima);
editor.commit();
}
Then to retrieve the values, use this code:
SharedPreferences sound = getSharedPreferences(YOUR_CONSTANT,0);
soundima = sound.getInt("sOn", 0);

How do i get these values to save?

I need the inserted values in this edittext to show up after i quit the application. I currently have it set up so it'll set new default values if this is the first time for a user to set up the settings page but i can't get the set values to save and load the same values. Here is my code.
if (res.equals("555")) {
//post the saved text
} else if (res.equals("510")) {
editTextname.setText("Firstname Lastname", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
editTextphone.setText("XXX-XXX-XXXX", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
editTextemail.setText("name#yourdomain.com", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
editTextaddress.setText("Street, City, State, Zip", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
//save the entered text above and show it
}

Use SharedPreferences:
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("MyPreference", MODE_PRIVATE);
// On first run:
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
if(!prefs.contains("key1"))
editor.putString("key1", "defaultValue1");
if(!prefs.contains("key2"))
editor.putString("key2", "defaultValue2");
editor.commit();
// On save:
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putString("key1", "value1");
editor.putString("key2", "value3");
editor.commit();
// On read:
String value1 = prefs.getString("key1");
String value2 = prefs.getString("key2");
