Unable To Use Shared Preference Within A Class That Extends View

I am getting an error , when I try to access the shared preference from within class that extends View. The Error : 'The method getSharedPreferences(String, int) is undefined for t

Solution 1:

getSharedPreferences() is a method of a Context object. So you can try:

public class ViewforRed extends View

 {

       public final String PREFS_NAME = "GRAPHICS";
       SharedPreferences settings;


           public ViewforRed(Context context)
             {   
                settings = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
                super(context);

             }
