How to store dates of CalendarView with SharedPreferences?

Question

I'm making an app to set details for events on a Calendarview. The app uses 3 activities; main, create event, and show event.
Once a date is selected in calendarview, setEventClick is used to open Create activity using the date as a key if no data is present for the key already. If there is data present it will Show activity.

However after I set an event in a date and use setEventClick to open it, the details I previously placed are no longer there, and it opens the create activity again.

I know from reading on SO that being very specific and clear with questions is very important, this is my first question so please let me know how I can improve my questions for future use.

MainActivity

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private SharedPreferences savedEvents;

    CalendarView cal;   
    public String dateSelected; 
    public String description;



    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        savedEvents = getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", MODE_PRIVATE);

        cal = (CalendarView) findViewById(R.id.calendarView1);

        cal.setOnDateChangeListener(new OnDateChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(CalendarView view, int year, int month,
                int dayOfMonth) {
            month = month+1;
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
                    "Selected Date is\n\n"+month+" / "+dayOfMonth+" / "+year, 
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0); //changes position Toast appears
            toast.show();   

            dateSelected = "" + month + "/" + dayOfMonth + "/" + year;

            }//end onSelectedDayChange method                       
        });//end OnDateChangeListener         

}//end OnCreate

    public void setEventClick(View v)
    {

            savedEvents = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());

Answer 1

Remove this line from your code:

Prefs2 = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());

You also missed to save the stuffs in sharedPreferences:

editor.putString(DateSelected, editevent.toString()).commit();
