    copied!<p>I'm trying to create an endgame activity for my Hangman game for android and i'm having some trouble committing values OTHER than strings.</p> <p>Here is my main activity:</p> <pre><code>package com.assignment.hangman; import android.app.Activity; public class HangmanActivity extends Activity { public static final String GAME_PREFERENCES = "Game Preferences"; public static final String GAME_LOGIC = "Game Logic"; public static final String GAME_LOGIC_GUESS = "Guessed letter"; public static final String GAME_LOGIC_SCORE_STRING = "Unknow score"; public static final boolean GAME_LOGIC_WIN_LOOSE = false; } </code></pre> <p>I get the sharedprefs like this:</p> <pre><code>mGameSettings = getSharedPreferences("GAME_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); </code></pre> <p>And this is where something goes wrong when committing the changes to the editor:</p> <pre><code>public void finishGame() { //Commit different game variables so they can be used in the end game activity Editor editor = mGameSettings.edit(); editor.putString(GAME_LOGIC_SCORE_STRING, (tries + " of " + numberOfLives + " used")); if (tries != numberOfLives){ editor.putBoolean("GAME_LOGIC_WIN_LOOSE", true); } editor.commit(); // Launch end game Activity startActivity(new Intent(HangmanGameActivity.this, HangmanEndActivity.class)); } </code></pre> <p>And after changing activity i refetch the values like this:</p> <pre><code> if (mGameSettings.contains("GAME_LOGIC_WIN_LOOSE")) { Log.i(GAME_DEBUG, "Succes"); boolean winLoose = mGameSettings.getBoolean("GAME_LOGIC_WIN_LOOSE", false); if (winLoose) { winLooseView.setText(R.string.you_win); } else { winLooseView.setText(R.string.you_loose); } } </code></pre> <p>But somehow only the String is being committed correctly. I guess the boolean value reverts to the default value of false. </p> <p>Could someone help me shed some light on this?</p>
