        public void onClick(View v) {
            final String username = etUsername.getText().toString();
            final String password = etPassword.getText().toString();

            // Response received from the server
            Response.Listener<String> responseListener = new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(response);
                        boolean success = jsonResponse.getBoolean("success");

                        if (success) {
                            String name = jsonResponse.getString("name");
                            String email = jsonResponse.getString("email");
                            String alamat = jsonResponse.getString("alamat");
                            int notelp = jsonResponse.getInt("notelp");
                            String username = jsonResponse.getString("username");
                            String password = jsonResponse.getString("password");

First of all you have to create SharedPreferences

SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("YOUR_PREF_NAME", MODE_PRIVATE); 
Editor edt = pref.edit();

To add value in preference:

edt.putString("name", name);           
edt.putString("email", email);       
edt.putString("alamat", alamat);   
edt.putString("notelp", notelp);     
edt.putString("username",username); 

// Save your changes
edt.commit();

Now for getting data from preference:

String name=pref.getString("name", null);  
String email=pref.getString("email", null);  
String alamat=pref.getString("alamat", null);  
String notelp=pref.getString("notelp", null);  
String username=pref.getString("username", null);

If you want to clear the preference data:

edt.clear();
edt.commit();

Save like below.

        SharedPreferences getPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, adminarea.class);

        intent.putExtra("name", name);
        getPref.edit().putString("name",name).apply();
        intent.putExtra("email", email);
        getPref.edit().putString("email",name).apply();
        intent.putExtra("alamat", alamat);
        getPref.edit().putString("alamat",name).apply();
        intent.putExtra("notelp", notelp);
        intent.putExtra("username", username);
        intent.putExtra("password", password);

        MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

Retrieve like this.

        SharedPreferences getPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
        String name = getPref.getString("name","");
        String email = getPref.getString("email","");
        String alamat = getPref.getString("alamat","");

@Shail the result when i run it this line SharedPreferences getPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); error: incompatible types: > cannot be converted to Context — Sii Ann Die, Jul 21 '16 at 05:41
@SiiAnnDie please post you code here how you are calling this you can context creating its context. — Sohail Zahid, Jul 21 '16 at 05:45

Create a class SharePrefUtil

private Context context;
private SharedPreferences prefs;

public SharePrefUtil(Context mContext) {
    this.context = mContext;
    prefs = this.context.getSharedPreferences("your package name", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}


public void setValueInSharePref(String keyName, String value) {
    prefs.edit().putString(keyName, value).apply();
}

public String getValueFromSharePref(String keyName) {
    return prefs.getString(keyName, "");
}
}

When ever you want to store the value Just Make a object of class in you activity to get or set a value for example

SharePreUtil shef = new SharePreUtil(this);

When ever you what to set a value in the activity

shef.setValueInSharePref("key", "yourvalue");

when you want to get value

shef.getValueFromSharePref("key");

All the best...

You can save data in SharedPreferences in your activity class as below:

  SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("USER_INFO", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    editor.putString("name", name);
    editor.putString("email", alamat);
    editor.putString("alamat", alamat);
    editor.commit();

And in your activity where you want to fetch them, do as below:

  SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("USER_INFO", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String name=sharedPreferences.getString("name", "abc");
    String email=sharedPreferences.getString("email", "abc@gmail.com");

To put int,

editor.putInt("number",0);

And to retrive it,

sharedPreferences.getInt("number",0);

onCreate() method
sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

to get all data server after
 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
                    editor.putString(name, name);
                    editor.putString(email, email);
                    .....
                    editor.commit();

quoting the training guide at https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/shared-preferences.html

SharedPreferences sharedPref = getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
editor.putInt(getString(R.string.saved_high_score), newHighScore);
editor.commit();

and to read

SharedPreferences sharedPref = getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
int defaultValue = getResources().getInteger(R.string.saved_high_score_default);
long highScore = sharedPref.getInt(getString(R.string.saved_high_score), defaultValue);

In your other activity....first receive data from intent...like this

String name = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("name");

now,save this data into shared prefrences....to do that...you need sharedPreferences.Editor to write data.....like this...

 SharedPreferences sp = Your_Activity.this.getSharedPreferences("SharedPreferences_Name", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
                    SharedPreferences.Editor spwriter = sp.edit();
                    spwriter.putString("name",name);
                    spwriter.commit();

if (success) {

    // once you retrieve all the required data
    SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("com.example.app", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

    // Writing data to SharedPreferences
    Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    editor.putString("name", name);
    editor.putString("email", email);
    editor.putInt("notelp", notelp);
    editor.commit();

    // start your AdminArea activity here
}

Retrieve data inn AdminArea class:

// Reading from SharedPreferences
String value = prefs.getString("name", "DEFAULT_STRIGN"); // if the given key not found, it'll take the default string as value
int intValue = prefs.getInt("notelp", -1); // instead of -1, you can give any default value

hope this helps :)
