Help me. I die inside.
Hello, I'm stuck.
I've managed to copy the smali models and information here (thanks) and elsewhere to insert info into the sharedPreferences database. I'm testing with checkbox booleans.
What I'm trying to do is call these values back in random places in the smali so I can compare if the checkbox is on, do xxx. I'm working within kik8.2.
I am attempting to return the boolean value directly to the chat text so I can visually see the return and understand better how to use the functions.
Here is where the chat is returned:
a/b/a/g.smali
Code:
.class public Lkik/a/b/a/g;
.super Lkik/a/b/a/f;
.source "SourceFile"
# instance fields
.field private a:Ljava/lang/String;
# direct methods
.method public constructor <init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V
.locals 2
.prologue
const/4 v1, 0x1
.line 9
const/16 v0, 0xf
invoke-direct {p0, v1, v1, v1, v0}, Lkik/a/b/a/f;-><init>(IZZI)V
.line 10
iput-object p1, p0, Lkik/a/b/a/g;->a:Ljava/lang/String;
.line 11
return-void
.end method
# virtual methods
.method public final a()Ljava/lang/String;
.locals 1
.prologue
.line 15
iget-object v0, p0, Lkik/a/b/a/g;->a:Ljava/lang/String;
return-object v0
.end method
Now here are some of the things I've tried to do:
Code:
.class public Lkik/a/b/a/g;
.super Lkik/a/b/a/f;
.source "SourceFile"
# instance fields
.field private a:Ljava/lang/String;

.line 10
iput-object p1, p0, Lkik/a/b/a/g;->a:Ljava/lang/String;
.line 11
return-void
.end method
# virtual methods
.method public final a()Ljava/lang/String;
.locals [COLOR="Red"]4[/COLOR]
.prologue
.line 15
[COLOR="Red"] iget-object v0, p0, Lkik/android/chat/a/a;->c:Landroid/content/SharedPreferences;
const-string v1, "kik.enterbutton.sends"
const/4 v2, 0x0

move-result-object v0
# return v0
#
# iget-object v0, p0, Lkik/a/b/a/g;->a:Ljava/lang/String;[/COLOR]
return-object v0
.end method
logcat shows me I don't have access to /a/a.smali.c->. I'm not very familiar with java so this doesn't exactly help the cause but I've come this far ... so...
This is what is inside /a/a.smali

I was successfully able to insert using a.smali function copy and associating it throughout xml and where necessary in the other referencing smali to set its value to 1 before login. The "kik.pikik1" and "kik.pikik2" are the fields I've inserted and I'm trying to read out of the SharedPrefs. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have tried many things in the g.smali to return the value (1/0, true/false) directly into the chat. Setting as object and regular return. I'm using "enterbuttonsends" because it's native.
