advanced patterns with SharedPreferences in Android 14 When Using apply() Method
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with an scenario with SharedPreferences in my Android 14 application. Whenever I use the `apply()` method to save preferences, the data occasionally doesn’t continue as expected, especially after the app is closed and reopened. Here’s a snippet of my code: ```kotlin val sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("my_prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE) val editor = sharedPreferences.edit() editor.putString("username", username) editor.apply() ``` I’ve tried replacing `apply()` with `commit()`, but that seems to block the UI thread, causing delays in my app’s responsiveness. I also verified that the `username` variable is not null when I save it. The unexpected behavior happens intermittently, and I need to identify a specific scenario that causes it. I am not receiving any behavior messages, but when I check the preferences after restarting the app, the value is sometimes missing. I’ve also ensured that I follow the best practices for using SharedPreferences, but I’m starting to think it could be related to how Android 14 handles background processes or app lifecycle events. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to ensure the data is saved reliably? Any tips or insights on debugging this scenario further would be greatly appreciated! How would you solve this?
