Saving Custom Object Array

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to save a list of custom objects (with a String getter and setter in my case). A code example would also be very helpful.

Thank you!

Hey Diego! What do you mean by String getter and setter? Are you storing Strings?

Yeah, the string, in my case, is the name for the object.

I think the easiest way would be to concatenate your Strings into one String, and then store/retrieve that one String using SharedPreferences. Here's a good example of this that uses a comma for the delimiter.
