3,003 PointsWhere are shared preferences stored?
If I understand it correctly, they are saved in the internal storage, but unlike "classic" internal storage save, shared preferences are loaded to the memory right when the app is entered. Am I right?

SharedPreferences are stored internally in your app's files - meaning if you uninstall the app, the data in the SharedPreferences will be lost. As for when they are loaded, I'd assume SharedPreferences aren't loaded until you create the SharedPreference object accessing them.
