Does LibGDX share preferences with Android API?

Question

Can I get a value from LibGDX preferences like this:

Preferences preferences = Gdx.app.getPreferences("someName");
int value = preferences.getInteger("intValue");

And then in the same project, in a different activity, do this:

SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("someName",Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
int value = preferences.getInt("intValue",0);

So assuming there is a value already stored, would both methods retrieve the same value?

Answer 1

Yes, you are right in assuming that both codesnippets do the same thing. Checking the implementation for the Android backend, they show that the same Android methods are being called.

@Override
public Preferences getPreferences (String name) {
    return new AndroidPreferences(getSharedPreferences(name, Context.MODE_PRIVATE));
}

and

@Override
public int getInteger (String key) {
    return sharedPrefs.getInt(key, 0);
}
