I have a Location object and I want to save it in shared preferences, but I can't because it's an object, so I thought of saving latitude and longitude in shared preferences instead, but the problem is that location.getLatitude() and location.getLongitude() return Double and I can't save Double in shared preferences, however I can save Float, so my question is: Is it a good idea to save latitude and longitude as floats instead of doubles? Is there another way that I missed?

2There is no `putDouble` method in the SharedPreferences object. – Mathew Hany Jun 13 '16 at 12:43

1I think the Location object is Parcelable, though, so just store that – OneCricketeer Jun 13 '16 at 12:49
