以防有人需要保存列表的列表，即list < list < String > >。我是这样做的:

序列化

Gson gson = new Gson();
// Save the size of the array
sharedPreferencesEditor.putInt("ArraySize", myArray.size());

for (int i=0; i<myArray.size(); i++) {
  String key = "Array"+i;
  String json = gson.toJson(myArray.get(i));
  sharedPreferencesEditor.putString(key, json);
}

sharedPreferencesEditor.commit();

反序列化

// Get the size of the array to be deserialized. In my case, the default number should be 3
int arraySize = sharedPreferences.getInt("ArraySize",3);

myArray = new ArrayList<List<String>>();

for (int i=0; i<arraySize; i++) {
  String key = "Array"+i;
  String json = sharedPreferences.getString(key, null);
  List<String> arrayTemp= gson.fromJson(json, List.class);
  myArray.add(arrayTemp);
}

// My array may also include components with empty strings. 
// Gson makes them null values and it is not possible 
// to deserialize them as empty strings. 
// The following takes care of that:

for (int i=0; i<myArray.size();i++) {
   if (myArray.get(i) == null) {
      List<String> emptyComponent = new ArrayList<String>() {
         { add(""); }
      };
      myArray.set(i,emptyComponent);
   }
}

还有Kotlin:

fun SharedPreferences.Editor.putIntegerArrayList(key: String, list: ArrayList<Int>?): SharedPreferences.Editor {
    putString(key, list?.joinToString(",") ?: "")
    return this
}

fun SharedPreferences.getIntegerArrayList(key: String, defValue: ArrayList<Int>?): ArrayList<Int>? {
    val value = getString(key, null)
    if (value.isNullOrBlank())
        return defValue
    return ArrayList (value.split(",").map { it.toInt() }) 
}

使用Kotlin，对于简单的数组和列表，你可以这样做:

class MyPrefs(context: Context) {
    val prefs = context.getSharedPreferences("x.y.z.PREFS_FILENAME", 0)
    var listOfFloats: List<Float>
        get() = prefs.getString("listOfFloats", "").split(",").map { it.toFloat() }
        set(value) = prefs.edit().putString("listOfFloats", value.joinToString(",")).apply()
}

然后轻松访问首选项:

MyPrefs(context).listOfFloats = ....
val list = MyPrefs(context).listOfFloats

我能找到的最好的方法是一个使一个2D数组的键，并把数组的自定义项在2-D数组的键，然后检索它通过启动的2D arra。 我不喜欢使用字符串集的想法，因为大多数android用户仍然使用Gingerbread，使用字符串集需要蜂巢。

示例代码: 这里ditor是共享的pref编辑器，rowitem是我的自定义对象。

editor.putString(genrealfeedkey[j][1], Rowitemslist.get(j).getname());
        editor.putString(genrealfeedkey[j][2], Rowitemslist.get(j).getdescription());
        editor.putString(genrealfeedkey[j][3], Rowitemslist.get(j).getlink());
        editor.putString(genrealfeedkey[j][4], Rowitemslist.get(j).getid());
        editor.putString(genrealfeedkey[j][5], Rowitemslist.get(j).getmessage());

使用Kotlin和GSON:

fun <T> SharedPreferences.writeList(gson: Gson, key: String, data: List<T>) {
    val json = gson.toJson(data)
    edit { putString(key, json) }
}

inline fun <reified T> SharedPreferences.readList(gson: Gson, key: String): List<T> {
    val json = getString(key, "[]") ?: "[]"
    val type = object : TypeToken<List<T>>() {}.type
    
    return try {
        gson.fromJson(json, type)
    } catch(e: JsonSyntaxException) {
        emptyList()
    }
}

在SharedPreferences中保存数组:

public static boolean saveArray()
{
    SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    SharedPreferences.Editor mEdit1 = sp.edit();
    /* sKey is an array */
    mEdit1.putInt("Status_size", sKey.size());  

    for(int i=0;i<sKey.size();i++)  
    {
        mEdit1.remove("Status_" + i);
        mEdit1.putString("Status_" + i, sKey.get(i));  
    }

    return mEdit1.commit();     
}

从SharedPreferences加载数组数据

public static void loadArray(Context mContext)
{  
    SharedPreferences mSharedPreference1 =   PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(mContext);
    sKey.clear();
    int size = mSharedPreference1.getInt("Status_size", 0);  

    for(int i=0;i<size;i++) 
    {
     sKey.add(mSharedPreference1.getString("Status_" + i, null));
    }

}
