Android: Retrieving shared preferences of other application

Okay! using this code in Application 1 ( with package name is "com.sharedpref1" ) to store data with Shared Preferences.

SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("demopref",
                    Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
            editor.putString("demostring", strShareValue);
            editor.commit();

And using this code in Application 2 to get data from Shared Preferences in Application 1. We can get it because we use MODE_WORLD_READABLE in application 1:

    try {
                con = createPackageContext("com.sharedpref1", 0);
                SharedPreferences pref = con.getSharedPreferences(
                        "demopref", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
                String data = pref.getString("demostring", "No Value");
                displaySharedValue.setText(data);

            } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
                Log.e("Not data shared", e.toString());
            }

Assuming the preference are WORLD_READABLE, this might work:

final ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> LIST = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
// where com.example is the owning  app containing the preferences
Context myContext = createPackageContext("com.example", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE); 
SharedPreferences testPrefs = myContext.getSharedPreferences("test_prefs", Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE); 
Map<String, ?> items = testPrefs .getAll();
for(String s : items.keySet()) {
  // do something like String value = items.get(s).toString());
}

Additionally you have to add same android:sharedUserId in the both app's manifest file.
