I been trying to create a small login app that stores the logged in information to shared preferences.
i created a class called Mysession to store,get and clear shared preferences data, the class takes a context and when i pass the context from my login activity to login class and then store the data to shared preferences i get an error.
the error indicates that i passed an empty context.
these are my classes and activities.
Login Activity
public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText lemailtxt,lpasstxt;
Button loginbttn;
String lurl;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
lurl = "http://192.168.1.6/test/test.php";
lemailtxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.emailtxt);
lpasstxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.passtxt);
loginbttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loginbttn);
loginbttn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
MLoginOnline login = new MLoginOnline(getApplicationContext()
,lurl,lemailtxt.getText().toString(),lpasstxt.getText().toString());
login.execute();
}
});
}
Login Class
