Ok, then SharePreferences should be ok in multi-threaded applications. Regarding process death and preferences, I thought the same thing so I scaled back my persistence code to only save preferences in an onPause (). It was my understanding that even when a task is killed, the onPause is called before the process is terminated - is that not the case? Can the process be killed in the middle of the onPause() processing? Perhaps this is a debugger only phenomenon?
