您可以使用序列化或Gson库将列表转换为字符串，反之亦然，然后将字符串保存在首选项中。

使用谷歌的Gson库:

//Converting list to string
new Gson().toJson(list);

//Converting string to list
new Gson().fromJson(listString, CustomObjectsList.class);

使用Java序列化:

//Converting list to string
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
oos.writeObject(list);
oos.flush();
String string = Base64.encodeToString(bos.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);
oos.close();
bos.close();
return string;

//Converting string to list
byte[] bytesArray = Base64.decode(familiarVisitsString, Base64.DEFAULT);
ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytesArray);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bis);
Object clone = ois.readObject();
ois.close();
bis.close();
return (CustomObjectsList) clone;

/**
 *     Save and get ArrayList in SharedPreference
 */

JAVA:

public void saveArrayList(ArrayList<String> list, String key){
    SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = gson.toJson(list);
    editor.putString(key, json);
    editor.apply();    

}

public ArrayList<String> getArrayList(String key){
    SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity);
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = prefs.getString(key, null);
    Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<String>>() {}.getType();
    return gson.fromJson(json, type);
}

科特林

fun saveArrayList(list: java.util.ArrayList<String?>?, key: String?) {
    val prefs: SharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity)
    val editor: Editor = prefs.edit()
    val gson = Gson()
    val json: String = gson.toJson(list)
    editor.putString(key, json)
    editor.apply()
}

fun getArrayList(key: String?): java.util.ArrayList<String?>? {
    val prefs: SharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity)
    val gson = Gson()
    val json: String = prefs.getString(key, null)
    val type: Type = object : TypeToken<java.util.ArrayList<String?>?>() {}.getType()
    return gson.fromJson(json, type)
}

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

该方法用于存储/保存数组列表:-

 public static void saveSharedPreferencesLogList(Context context, List<String> collageList) {
            SharedPreferences mPrefs = context.getSharedPreferences("PhotoCollage", context.MODE_PRIVATE);
            SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
            Gson gson = new Gson();
            String json = gson.toJson(collageList);
            prefsEditor.putString("myJson", json);
            prefsEditor.commit();
        }

该方法用于检索数组列表:-

public static List<String> loadSharedPreferencesLogList(Context context) {
        List<String> savedCollage = new ArrayList<String>();
        SharedPreferences mPrefs = context.getSharedPreferences("PhotoCollage", context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String json = mPrefs.getString("myJson", "");
        if (json.isEmpty()) {
            savedCollage = new ArrayList<String>();
        } else {
            Type type = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {
            }.getType();
            savedCollage = gson.fromJson(json, type);
        }

        return savedCollage;
    }

使用这个自定义类:

public class SharedPreferencesUtil {

    public static void pushStringList(SharedPreferences sharedPref, 
                                      List<String> list, String uniqueListName) {

        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
        editor.putInt(uniqueListName + "_size", list.size());

        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
            editor.remove(uniqueListName + i);
            editor.putString(uniqueListName + i, list.get(i));
        }
        editor.apply();
    }

    public static List<String> pullStringList(SharedPreferences sharedPref, 
                                              String uniqueListName) {

        List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
        int size = sharedPref.getInt(uniqueListName + "_size", 0);

        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            result.add(sharedPref.getString(uniqueListName + i, null));
        }
        return result;
    }
}

使用方法:

SharedPreferences sharedPref = getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferencesUtil.pushStringList(sharedPref, list, getString(R.string.list_name));
List<String> list = SharedPreferencesUtil.pullStringList(sharedPref, getString(R.string.list_name));
