POAndroid SharedPreference not clear after reinstall
text
Body
copied!<p>I have developed an application that stores a boolean to a <code>SharePreference</code> to identify whether application start at the first time after installation. The problem is when I uninstall and install it again it still remember all <code>SharedPreference</code> that I have set on previous installation, I can't check whether application start at the first time after installation. This happen on <strong>Samsung galaxy s version 2.2.1</strong>.</p> <p>I appreciate your suggestion on the way to check first start.</p> <p>I found it strange too, but I have tested it with other devices, same version and difference version, and not found this issue. I only found this issue only on one single device.</p> <p>Here is my code, please tell me if you found something wrong :</p> <pre><code> public static boolean isFirstStart(Context context) { SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); boolean isFirstTime = pref.getBoolean(KEY_IS_FIRST_TIME, true); if (isFirstTime) { SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit(); editor.putBoolean(KEY_IS_FIRST_TIME, false); editor.putBoolean("test", false); editor.commit(); } return isFirstTime; } </code></pre> <p>This method return true only the first installation, but false for later installation. Note: I always uninstall and install to test it. I have try to clear this application data in setting the problem is still the same, but it is ok if do this pref.edit().clear().commit(); it will be cleared for this installation.</p>
