how to getSharedPreferences in dialog?

i want to read file in dialog

can any开发者_StackOverflow社区 one guide me how to achieve this?

when i use

SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(PREF_FILE_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE); in dialog it gives me error "method is undefined"

Use the Context to access the preferences.

context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_FILE_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE);

You can get the context using super.getContext():

super.getContext().getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
