If you have created SharedPreferences like:

private static final String PREFS_NAME = "UserData";
private static final String PREFS_VALUE1 = "value1";

then use this:

SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); 
value1 = preferences.getString(PREFS_VALUE1, "default_no");

You have to use the Context like this: 

Context ctx = getApplicationContext();
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
