1. SharedPreferences对象获取

context类中的getSharedPreferences方法可以获取一个SharedPreferences对象

private File makeFilename(File base, String name) { if (name.indexOf(File.separatorChar) < 0) { return new File(base, name); } throw new IllegalArgumentException( "File " + name + " contains a path separator"); } 

其本质也是在文件不存在的情况下new一个File

2. commit方法

源码注释：

 /** * Commit your preferences changes back from this Editor to the * {@link SharedPreferences} object it is editing. This atomically * performs the requested modifications, replacing whatever is currently * in the SharedPreferences. * * <p>Note that when two editors are modifying preferences at the same * time, the last one to call commit wins. * * <p>If you don't care about the return value and you're * using this from your application's main thread, consider * using {@link #apply} instead. * * @return Returns true if the new values were successfully written * to persistent storage. */ boolean commit(); 

• commit方法是有一个boolean的返回值
• 当数据变化进行存储时是一个原子性的操作
• 当两个editor对象同时对一个共享的preferences参数进行操作时，永远都是最后一个调用commit方法的editor变更了最后的数据值

3. apply方法

源码注释：

/** * Commit your preferences changes back from this Editor to the * {@link SharedPreferences} object it is editing. This atomically * performs the requested modifications, replacing whatever is currently * in the SharedPreferences. * * <p>Note that when two editors are modifying preferences at the same * time, the last one to call apply wins. * * <p>Unlike {@link #commit}, which writes its preferences out * to persistent storage synchronously, {@link #apply} * commits its changes to the in-memory * {@link SharedPreferences} immediately but starts an * asynchronous commit to disk and you won't be notified of * any failures. If another editor on this * {@link SharedPreferences} does a regular {@link #commit} * while a {@link #apply} is still outstanding, the * {@link #commit} will block until all async commits are * completed as well as the commit itself. * * <p>As {@link SharedPreferences} instances are singletons within * a process, it's safe to replace any instance of {@link #commit} with * {@link #apply} if you were already ignoring the return value. * * <p>You don't need to worry about Android component * lifecycles and their interaction with <code>apply()</code> * writing to disk. The framework makes sure in-flight disk * writes from <code>apply()</code> complete before switching * states. * * <p class='note'>The SharedPreferences.Editor interface * isn't expected to be implemented directly. However, if you * previously did implement it and are now getting errors * about missing <code>apply()</code>, you can simply call * {@link #commit} from <code>apply()</code>. */ void apply(); 

• apply方法是没有返回值的
• 当两个editor同时对preferences对象编辑时，也是最后一个调用apply方法的对象编辑数据
• apply的提交操作也是原子性的

4. commit和apply方法的区别：

1. commit和apply虽然都是原子性操作，但是原子的操作不同，commit是原子提交到数据库，所以从提交数据到存在Disk中都是同步过程，中间不可打断。

2. 而apply方法的原子操作是原子提交的内存中，而非数据库，所以在提交到内存中时不可打断，之后再异步提交数据到数据库中，因此也不会有相应的返回值。

3. 所有commit提交是同步过程，效率会比apply异步提交的速度慢，但是apply没有返回值，永远无法知道存储是否失败。

4. 在不关心提交结果是否成功的情况下，优先考虑apply方法。
