First, you should probably make sure your app isn't running before doing this.

You have to use the File Explorer option. Navigate to

data -> com.yourpackage -> shared_pref

Click the xml and at the top right click pull.

Edit the xml on your computer.

Once you're done, click push (also top right).

If you pushed the same file to the same device to the same directory, the next time you launch the app, you should see your updated values.
