Can not save the state of CheckBox in Android

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am developing an application. There are many checkbox in one page. I want to save the state of CheckBox when I exit page. I use SharedPreferrences to save. The code is like this:

checkbox1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("syllabus", 0).edit();
editor.putBoolean("cbx1_ischecked", isChecked);
editor.commit();
}
    });
checkbox2.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean isChecked) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("syllabus", 0).edit();
    editor.putBoolean("cbx2_ischecked", isChecked);
    editor.commit();
    }

});

When I leave this page, and back again. All the checkbox state becomes not selected as default. why?

SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("syllabus", 0);
checkbox1.setChecked(prefs.getBoolean("cbx1_ischecked" ,false));
checkbox2.setChecked(prefs.getBoolean("cbx2_ischecked" ,false));
