Hi
TreKing,
Thanks for the reply. You are absolutely right, it was my mistake.
My requirement is to delete saved data of one application from another
application( e.g I am launching *App B* from *App A*. In *App B*, I am
saving the state of checkBoxPreference. I need to clear the state of that
checkBoxPreference from *App A*. )
By observing different posts on forums, it looks like that it is not
possible with SharedPreferences. Can you suggest any way do it?
