I have an ArrayList with custom objects. Each custom object contains a variety of strings and numbers. I need the array to stick around even if the user leaves the activity and then wants to come back at a later time, however I don't need the array available after the application has been closed completely. I save a lot of other objects this way by using the SharedPreferences but I can't figure out how to save my entire array this way. Is this possible? Maybe SharedPreferences isn't the way to go about this? Is there a simpler method?

使用这个对象——> TinyDB——Android-Shared-Preferences-Turbo非常简单。

TinyDB tinydb = new TinyDB(context);

tinydb.putList("MyUsers", mUsersArray);

得到

tinydb.getList("MyUsers");

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));

正如@nirav所说,最好的解决方案是使用Gson实用工具类将其作为json文本存储在sharedpreferences中。下面是示例代码:

//Retrieve the values
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonText = Prefs.getString("key", null);
String[] text = gson.fromJson(jsonText, String[].class);  //EDIT: gso to gson


//Set the values
Gson gson = new Gson();
List<String> textList = new ArrayList<String>(data);
String jsonText = gson.toJson(textList);
prefsEditor.putString("key", jsonText);
prefsEditor.apply();

你可以从FacebookSDK的SharedPreferencesTokenCache类中引用serializeKey()和deserializeKey()函数。它将supportedType转换为JSON对象,并将JSON字符串存储为SharedPreferences。你可以从这里下载SDK

private void serializeKey(String key, Bundle bundle, SharedPreferences.Editor editor)
    throws JSONException {
    Object value = bundle.get(key);
    if (value == null) {
        // Cannot serialize null values.
        return;
    }

    String supportedType = null;
    JSONArray jsonArray = null;
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();

    if (value instanceof Byte) {
        supportedType = TYPE_BYTE;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Byte)value).intValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Short) {
        supportedType = TYPE_SHORT;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Short)value).intValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Integer) {
        supportedType = TYPE_INTEGER;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Integer)value).intValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Long) {
        supportedType = TYPE_LONG;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Long)value).longValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Float) {
        supportedType = TYPE_FLOAT;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Float)value).doubleValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Double) {
        supportedType = TYPE_DOUBLE;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Double)value).doubleValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Boolean) {
        supportedType = TYPE_BOOLEAN;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, ((Boolean)value).booleanValue());
    } else if (value instanceof Character) {
        supportedType = TYPE_CHAR;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, value.toString());
    } else if (value instanceof String) {
        supportedType = TYPE_STRING;
        json.put(JSON_VALUE, (String)value);
    } else {
        // Optimistically create a JSONArray. If not an array type, we can null
        // it out later
        jsonArray = new JSONArray();
        if (value instanceof byte[]) {
            supportedType = TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY;
            for (byte v : (byte[])value) {

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