1152438 - Consider caching references to SharedPreferences objects

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

According to http://stackoverflow.com/a/4371883 context.getSharedPreferences causes a file stat and thus can be slower than just keeping it in memory.

Verify this, make sure it's stat is not necessary, and if so, keep track of SharedPreference instances in memory (e.g. HashMap lookup).

Note also that SharedPreferences instances only read from disk when they're intially loaded - perhaps we should pre-load them (if we don't already).
