android commit apply,android - SharedPreferences.edit() without a corresponding commit() or apply() ...

I'm using SharedPreferences for my apps' Intro Slider. However, I'm getting an error on this line:

class PrefManager {

private SharedPreferences pref;

private SharedPreferences.Editor editor;

private static final String PREF_NAME = "welcome";

private static final String IS_FIRST_TIME_LAUNCH = "IsFirstTimeLaunch";

PrefManager(Context context) {

int PRIVATE_MODE = 0;

pref = context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, PRIVATE_MODE);

editor = pref.edit();

}

void setFirstTimeLaunch(boolean isFirstTime) {

editor.putBoolean(IS_FIRST_TIME_LAUNCH, isFirstTime);

editor.commit();

}

boolean isFirstTimeLaunch() {

return pref.getBoolean(IS_FIRST_TIME_LAUNCH, true);

}

}

editor = pref.edit();

What happens if I don't call commit() or apply() after calling edit()?
