Preference与SharedPreferences的区别

Preference是与ListView实现方式类似的UI类，主要提供界面展现；SharedPreferences是获取或修改map结构xml中数据的接口。

两者的练习：Preference通过其中的key 与SharedPreferences相关联

参考Android开发文档

1.

java.lang.Object
↳	android.preference.Preference

Represents the basic Preference UI building block displayed by a PreferenceActivity in the form of a ListView. This class provides the View to be displayed in the activity and associates with a SharedPreferences to store/retrieve the preference data.

When specifying a preference hierarchy in XML, each element can point to a subclass of Preference, similar to the view hierarchy and layouts.

This class contains a key that will be used as the key into the SharedPreferences. It is up to the subclass to decide how to store the value.

2. android.content.SharedPreferences

interface for accessing and modifying preference data returned by getSharedPreferences(String, int). For any particular set of preferences, there is a single instance of this class that all clients share. Modifications to the preferences must go through an SharedPreferences.Editor object to ensure the preference values remain in a consistent state and control when they are committed to storage. Objects that are returned from the variousget methods must be treated as immutable by the application.
