I have made a simple settings frame and i used atm the Pref API to store data. But the problem is that it requires every time when i am getting the data to initialize the default value(that's why i dont like it). So i thought to make my own Pref API class where it loads the default data from text file ? But it seems for me to messy to use this API like so. What you think any alternatives ?
Would a database (like SQLite) be overkill? Maybe try using an XML document.
Could you give an example? Show what you are doing and explain the problem.
Preferences requires a default value in the case that there is no value to be returned. It there is a value, you get it.
String aPref = prefs.get("Key", "default");
This will return what is stored in prefs if present, otherwise it returns "default".
Do you want to change the default every time you run the program? If so, please expain why?
