Hi all,
I seem to be having trouble reading preferences from my AppWidgetProvider class. My code works in an Activity, but it does not in an AppWidgetProvider. Here is the code I am using to read back a boolean:
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
boolean autoreplyon = settings.getBoolean("autoreplyon", false);
However, I get the "The method getSharedPreferences(String, int) is undefined for the type widget" error (widget is the name of my AppWidgetProvider class).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
