Yes we can do this using Gson

Download Working code from GitHub

SharedPreferences mPrefs = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE);

For save 

Editor prefsEditor = mPrefs.edit();
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(myObject); // myObject - instance of MyObject
prefsEditor.putString("MyObject", json);
prefsEditor.commit();

For get

Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = mPrefs.getString("MyObject", "");
MyObject obj = gson.fromJson(json, MyObject.class);
