Display Strings with SharedPreferences does not work

Issue

I've created a method to get a String from strings.xml with SharedPreferences and display it in a TextView. There is no error report but the TextView shows nothing. Is there a problem with SharedPreferences? The Strings and TextView are correct.

public void setQuestion() {
    TextView Question = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.question);
    if (question == 0) {
        SharedPreferences sharedPreferences =
                getSharedPreferences("strings", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        String myquestion = sharedPreferences.getString("AppQuestion1", "");
        Question.setText(myquestion);
    }
}

Solution

The strings.xml and SharedPreferences are different things.

If your AppQuestion1 is defined in the strings.xml like below:

<string name="AppQuestion1">Question1: ...</string>

You can get the String by calling getString method on your Resources object.

String myquestion = getResources().getString(R.string.AppQuestion1);

And there is no need to use SharedPreferences.
