How to save HashMap to Shared Preferences?

by

I use Gson to convert HashMap to String and then save it to SharedPrefs

private void hashmaptest()
{
    //create test hashmap
    HashMap<String, String> testHashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
    testHashMap.put("key1", "value1");
    testHashMap.put("key2", "value2");

    //convert to string using gson
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String hashMapString = gson.toJson(testHashMap);

    //save in shared prefs
    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("test", MODE_PRIVATE);
    prefs.edit().putString("hashString", hashMapString).apply();

    //get from shared prefs
    String storedHashMapString = prefs.getString("hashString", "oopsDintWork");
    java.lang.reflect.Type type = new TypeToken<HashMap<String, String>>(){}.getType();
    HashMap<String, String> testHashMap2 = gson.fromJson(storedHashMapString, type);

    //use values
    String toastString = testHashMap2.get("key1") + " | " + testHashMap2.get("key2");
    Toast.makeText(this, toastString, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
