How to migrate to SharedPreferences from an older API?

When migrating to SharedPreferences from an older API in Android, it's important to ensure that your application data is easily accessible and can be managed efficiently. SharedPreferences provides a simple way to store key-value pairs and is commonly used for storing user preferences and settings.

Example of Migrating to SharedPreferences

// Old API usage OlderAPI.saveData("username", "example_user"); // New SharedPreferences usage SharedPreferences sharedPref = context.getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit(); editor.putString("username", "example_user"); editor.apply();

This snippet demonstrates how to shift from an older API method to using SharedPreferences for saving a username.
