If you will clear the data of an application then the shared preference will be cleared hence if you reinstall an application for the first time there will be no application data so no shared preference will be there.

  • If the app is manually uninstalled first and then reinstalled, then yes, SharedPreferences and SQLite tables of the old installation are deleted.
  • If the app is updated from the Play Store or re-run from the IDE without uninstalling the previous version of app first, then SharedPreferences and SQLite tables of the old installation are still present.
