以防有人需要保存列表的列表，即list < list < String > >。我是这样做的:

序列化

Gson gson = new Gson();
// Save the size of the array
sharedPreferencesEditor.putInt("ArraySize", myArray.size());

for (int i=0; i<myArray.size(); i++) {
  String key = "Array"+i;
  String json = gson.toJson(myArray.get(i));
  sharedPreferencesEditor.putString(key, json);
}

sharedPreferencesEditor.commit();

反序列化

// Get the size of the array to be deserialized. In my case, the default number should be 3
int arraySize = sharedPreferences.getInt("ArraySize",3);

myArray = new ArrayList<List<String>>();

for (int i=0; i<arraySize; i++) {
  String key = "Array"+i;
  String json = sharedPreferences.getString(key, null);
  List<String> arrayTemp= gson.fromJson(json, List.class);
  myArray.add(arrayTemp);
}

// My array may also include components with empty strings. 
// Gson makes them null values and it is not possible 
// to deserialize them as empty strings. 
// The following takes care of that:

for (int i=0; i<myArray.size();i++) {
   if (myArray.get(i) == null) {
      List<String> emptyComponent = new ArrayList<String>() {
         { add(""); }
      };
      myArray.set(i,emptyComponent);
   }
}

在SharedPreferences中使用getStringSet和putStringSet非常简单，但在我的情况下，我必须在向Set中添加任何东西之前复制Set对象。否则，Set将不会被保存，如果我的应用程序是强制关闭。可能是因为下面API中的注释。(如果应用程序被返回按钮关闭，则保存)。

注意，您不能修改此调用返回的set实例。如果这样做，则无法保证存储数据的一致性，也无法保证修改实例的能力。 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html#getStringSet

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();

Set<String> outSet = prefs.getStringSet("key", new HashSet<String>());
Set<String> workingSet = new HashSet<String>(outSet);
workingSet.add("Another String");

editor.putStringSet("key", workingSet);
editor.commit();

public static void WriteSharePrefrence1(Context context, String key, 
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> value)
{
    final SharedPreferences preferences = 
    PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = gson.toJson(value);
    editor.putString(key, json);
    editor.commit();
}
public static ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> ReadSharePrefrence1(Context context, 
 String key)
{
    String data;
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> items = new ArrayList<>();
    final SharedPreferences preferences = 
    PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    final SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
    data = preferences.getString(key, "");

    Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>>() {}.getType();
    items = gson.fromJson(data, type);

    return items;
}

您可以将其转换为JSON字符串，并将字符串存储在SharedPreferences中。

在API 11之后，SharedPreferences Editor接受set。您可以将List转换为HashSet或类似的东西，并像这样存储它。当你把它读回来时，把它转换成一个数组列表，如果需要的话对它排序，你就可以开始了。

//Retrieve the values
Set<String> set = myScores.getStringSet("key", null);

//Set the values
Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>();
set.addAll(listOfExistingScores);
scoreEditor.putStringSet("key", set);
scoreEditor.commit();

你也可以序列化你的数组列表，然后将它保存/读取到SharedPreferences。解决方案如下:

编辑: 下面是将ArrayList作为一个序列化对象保存到SharedPreferences的解决方案，然后从SharedPreferences中读取它。

因为API只支持在SharedPreferences中存储和检索字符串(在API 11之后，它更简单)，我们必须序列化和反序列化ArrayList对象，它将任务列表变成一个字符串。

在TaskManagerApplication类的addTask()方法中，我们必须获取共享首选项的实例，然后使用putString()方法存储序列化的ArrayList:

public void addTask(Task t) {
  if (null == currentTasks) {
    currentTasks = new ArrayList<task>();
  }
  currentTasks.add(t);
 
  // save the task list to preference
  SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS_FILE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
  Editor editor = prefs.edit();
  try {
    editor.putString(TASKS, ObjectSerializer.serialize(currentTasks));
  } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
  editor.commit();
}

类似地，我们必须从onCreate()方法中的首选项中检索任务列表:

public void onCreate() {
  super.onCreate();
  if (null == currentTasks) {
    currentTasks = new ArrayList<task>();
  }
 
  // load tasks from preference
  SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS_FILE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
 
  try {
    currentTasks = (ArrayList<task>) ObjectSerializer.deserialize(prefs.getString(TASKS, ObjectSerializer.serialize(new ArrayList<task>())));
  } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

您可以从Apache Pig项目ObjectSerializer.java中获得ObjectSerializer类

public class VcareSharedPreference {
  private static VcareSharedPreference sharePref = new VcareSharedPreference(); 
  private static SharedPreferences sharedPreferences; 
  private static SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
  private VcareSharedPreference() {
 } 
public static VcareSharedPreference getInstance(Context context) {
    if (sharedPreferences == null) {
        sharedPreferences = context.getSharedPreferences(context.getPackageName(), Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
        editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    }
    return sharePref;
 }
public void save(String KEY, String text) {
    editor.putString(KEY, text);
    editor.commit();
}
 public String getValue(String PREFKEY) {
    String text;

    //settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    text = sharedPreferences.getString(PREFKEY, null);
    return text;
}
public void removeValue(String KEY) {
    editor.remove(KEY);
    editor.commit();
}

public void clearAll() {
    editor.clear();
    editor.commit();
}
public void saveArrayList(String key, ArrayList<ModelWelcome> modelCourses) {
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = gson.toJson(modelCourses);
    editor.putString(key, json);
    editor.apply();
}

public ArrayList<ModelWelcome> getArray(String key) {

    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = sharedPreferences.getString(key, null);
    Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<ModelWelcome>>() {
    }.getType();
 return gson.fromJson(json, type);}}
