Interface Preferences

public interface Preferences

A Preference instance is a hash map holding different values. It is stored alongside your application (SharedPreferences on Android, LocalStorage on GWT, on the desktop a Java Preferences file in a ".prefs" directory will be created, and on iOS an NSMutableDictionary will be written to the given file). CAUTION: On the desktop platform, all libGDX applications share the same ".prefs" directory. To avoid collisions use specific names like "com.myname.game1.settings" instead of "settings".

To persist changes made to a preferences instance flush() has to be invoked. With the exception of Android, changes are cached in memory prior to flushing. On iOS changes are not synchronized between different preferences instances.

Use Application.getPreferences(String) to look up a specific preferences instance. Note that on several backends the preferences name will be used as the filename, so make sure the name is valid for a filename.
