Save singleChoiceItems AlertDialog option using SharedPreference

I've implemented a singleChoiceItems AlertDialog which opens from a navigation menu in my android app. I'm using it to change the app theme (Light, Dark, System default).
Now I'm trying to save the current state of the AlertDialog in sharedPrefernces along with the theme that the user selects. For e.g, if I've selected a dark theme previously, I want the AlertDialog to show the same while applying the theme to the app.
Here's the code I've been using.
String selectedTheme = "Light";
public static final String SHARED_PREFS = "sharedPrefs";
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
selectedTheme = sharedPreferences.getString("str", "Light");
public void openDialog() {
String[] themes = {"Light", "Dark", "System default"};
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setTitle("Choose Theme");
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(themes, 2, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
selectedTheme = themes[which];
}
});
builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("SHARED_PREFS", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("str", selectedTheme);
editor.apply();
if (selectedTheme.equals("Light")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
}
else if (selectedTheme.equals("Dark")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
}
else {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM);
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
builder.show();
}
With the above code, the sharedpreferences is not storing the current state. What changes do I need to do in order to make it work?

I was able to solve the problem by sharing the string related to the theme in sharedPreference.
I also implemented the AlertDialog issue where I wanted to check the items which was previously chosen inside the app.
Following is the code I used:
String selectedTheme = "Light";
int checkedItem = 0;
public static final String SHARED_PREFS = "sharedPrefs";
public static final String TEXT = "text";
public static final String RADIO = "selected";
Then I called loadData() and updateViews() from onCreate().
public void openDialog() {
String[] themes = {"Light", "Dark", "System default"};
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setTitle("Choose Theme");
if (selectedTheme.equals("Light")) {
checkedItem = 0;
} else if (selectedTheme.equals("Dark")) {
checkedItem = 1;
} else {
checkedItem = 2;
}
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(themes, checkedItem, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
selectedTheme = themes[which];
}
});
builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if (selectedTheme.equals("Light")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
}
else if (selectedTheme.equals("Dark")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
}
else {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM);
}
saveData();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
builder.show();
}
public void saveData() {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString(TEXT, selectedTheme);
editor.putInt("selected", checkedItem);
editor.apply();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Data Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void loadData() {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
selectedTheme = sharedPreferences.getString(TEXT, "System default");
checkedItem = sharedPreferences.getInt("selected", 0);
}
public void updateViews() {
if (selectedTheme.equals("Light")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
checkedItem = 0;
}
else if (selectedTheme.equals("Dark")) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
checkedItem = 1;
}
else {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM);
checkedItem = 2;
}
}
I followed the tutorial from this link.

This is the result I am getting. I press this dish twice and its shown only once. It should be shown twice the same dish name. Please Guide.

The code is really long to follow on here. But speaking generally, do you save each dish with different key-value pair? Maybe think about such solution. OR you could store the dishes in an array, which can be stored in Shared prefs, and once you want to see your dishes, just read out the Array List and display the items inside it.
You store the String into an Array, whenever you want to do it in your code. It's just like mArrayList.add("String"); and then you can update yuor SharedPrefs the same you already do, just check the URL on how to store ArrayList to SharedPrefs. Would be a cleaner solution in my view.
Here you can see how to store ArrayList in SharedPreferences:
Save ArrayList to SharedPreferences
And the once you want to display the items from ArrayList, you pull ArrayList from SharedPrefs and display them in AlertDialog ListView.
And here it is explained how to display Array Items in AlertDialog:

Rate my app dialog when the user want to exit my app

I want to change the dialog of exit app with twi choices choice 1 = "rate" and choice 2 = "exit" now i can only show exit or stay dialog but i want to convert it to what i described here is the code :
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setNeutralButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
PicSelect.this.finish();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", null)
.show();
}
and this the class code `

finaly if anyone know how to style the text thank you for your help

.setNegativeButton("Rate App", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=[your package name]"));
startActivity(i);
}
})
This will give you a negative option that says Rate App that when clicked opens the market to your app.

Improve your app with this snippet in onBackPressed():
if(isTaskRoot()) {
if (this.lastBackPressTime < System.currentTimeMillis() - 2000) {
toast = Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.hinweisBeendeApp), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
this.lastBackPressTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
} else {
if (toast != null) {
toast.cancel();
}
super.onBackPressed();
}
}else {
super.onBackPressed();
}

How to use return value of a method in a another class in android

As far as I understand you have Activity where you want to show two values which you want to get from another class. You can't return two values from one function that's why I suggest you to create your own Object which will hold these values and you can return your custom object from match_eye() for example and get your values from your Activity. Here is example code:
MyCustomObject.java
public MyObject{
private int mFirstValue;
private int mSecondValue;
// public constructor
public MyObject(int firstValue, int secondValue){
this.mFirstValue = firstValue;
this.mSecondValue = secondValue;
}
// first value getter
public int getFirstValue(){
return mFirstValue;
}
// second value getter;
public int getSecondValue(){
return mSecondValue;
}
}
and in your match_eye() you can do something similar to this:
public MyObject match_eye(Rect area, Mat mTemplate,int type){
//do your calculations here ...
int firstValue = 0; // get first value
int secondValue = 0; // get second value
return new MyObject(firstValue, secondValue);
}
and in your Activity you just need to call :
MyObject mCurrentObject = FdView.match_eye(/*params*/); // static call as example
if(mCurrentObject != null){
int myFirstValue = mCurrentObject.getFirstValue();
int mySecondValue = mCurrentObject.getSecondValue();
// Show these values in your Activity.
}

Take object of that class in which you defined your method into your second activity and use like below code:
testing t1 = new testing();
double returnval = t1.match_eye(yourarea, youmTemplate,yourtype);
System.out.println(returnval);
For sending value using Intent:
Intent i = new Intent(context,MainActivity.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.putExtra("var", returnval)
context.startActivity(i);

Dialog only first option works

I'm trying to make a SingleChoiceItems dialog activated from a listview onItemLongCLick which has 3 options via radiobuttons 1.View Profile 2.Send Message 3.Delete Friends and from the way I have it set up,only the first option toast works on all 3 options.
How would I make it that options 2 and 3 does their actions instead of doing option 1's actions?
Here is the code to my dialog,
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
String[] items = { "View Profile", "Send Message", "Remove Friend" };
final DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
db.open();
switch (id) {
case 0:
return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setTitle("Select a option")
.setSingleChoiceItems(items, id,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int which) {
int choice = 0;
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mChoice = choice;
}
})
.setPositiveButton("OK", new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int choice) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (mChoice == 0) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Test 1",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (mChoice == 1) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Test2",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (mChoice == 2) {
TextView friends = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_friends);
String deletedfriend = friends.getText()
.toString();
db.DeleteFriends(deletedfriend);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Friend Removed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int choice) {
}
})
.create();
}
return null;
}

Remove choice = 0;
.setSingleChoiceItems(items, id,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int which) {
mChoice = which;
}
})
