Accessing Sharedpreference throws android.res.content.Resources$NotFoundException

Question

I have 2 activities in the project namely Main_Activity and Settings_Activity.

Tried adding a new SettinsActivity from the android studio but deleted it and added a blank activity and named it Settings_Activity Have the following code in the OnCreate() of Settings_Activity

 sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences("MyPref",Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

    try {
        pollTime = sharedpreferences.getInt("pollTime", 16);
        logClearCount = sharedpreferences.getInt("logClearCount", 6);
        eTPollTime.setText(pollTime);
        eTLogClearCount.setText(logClearCount);
        sharedpreferences.getBoolean("errorAlarm", false);
        cbErrorAlarm.setChecked(errAlarm);
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),ex.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        tvDescription.setText(ex.toString());
    }

Here I catch a android.res.content.Resources$NotFoundException

Answer 1

eTPollTime.setText(pollTime);
eTLogClearCount.setText(logClearCount);

This will make the system look for a ressource in your xml ressource files with ressource id with the value pollTime or logClearCount (int). This ressource will not exist and you get an exception.
