Do changes made with SharedPreferences.Editor survive a device reboot?

If an application stores something using SharedPreferences.Editor's methods, does it survive a device reboot?

Yeah.. Though shared preference data are temporary and not a recommendation for saving long term or complex data but it values can only be cleared using Editor.clear ones commit() or apply()

If you commit() or apply() the changes that you make in the SharedPreferences.Editor, then yes. SharedPreferences are saved in an XML file, and that file will survive an ordinary reboot.
