使用此代码，

SharedPreferences preferences=this.getSharedPreferences("com.example.application", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Map<String,?> keys = preferences.getAll();
Properties properties = new Properties();
for(Map.Entry<String,?> entry : keys.entrySet()){
    String key = entry.getKey();
    String value = entry.getValue().toString();
    properties.setProperty(key, value);      
}
try {
    File file = new File("externalPreferences.xml");
    FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
    properties.storeToXML(fileOut, "External Preferences");
    fileOut.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

并取回它，

try {
    File file = new File("externalPreferences.xml");
    FileInputStream fileInput = new FileInputStream(file);
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.loadFromXML(fileInput);
    fileInput.close();

    Enumeration enuKeys = properties.keys();
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
    while (enuKeys.hasMoreElements()) {
        String key = (String) enuKeys.nextElement();
        String value = properties.getProperty(key);
        editor.putString(key, value);
        editor.commit();
    }
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

注意 使用此代码只能处理字符串类型首选项，
