Data Storage Schemes in Android-Shared preferences (Setting Font Size)

To Setting Dynamic Fonts Size in Android Activity Use “Shared Preferences”

1. Create a project SharedPreference and add the bellow code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/SeekBar01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/EditText01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnSave"
        android:text="Save"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

        //---set the TextView font size to the previously saved values---

        //---init the SeekBar and EditText---

        editText.setTextSize(seekBar.getProgress());

        seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
            @Override

            }

            @Override

            }

            @Override

                                          boolean fromUser) {
                //---change the font size of the EditText---
                editText.setTextSize(progress);
