title: Can SharedPreferences be shared among different Android applications?
body: <p>As I checked in APIs description for getSharedPreferences(String, int),Second attribute is defining accessibility mode and can take 0 or MODE_PRIVATE for the default operation, MODE_WORLD_READABLE and MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE to control permissions.</p>
  
  <p>But there is this small note in API description:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Note: currently this class
    (android.content.SharedPreferences)
    does not support use across multiple
    processes. This will be added later.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Moreover in Mark L. Murphy book "beginning Android 2" he mentioned: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>(Eventually, preferences might be
    shareable across applications, but
    that is not supported as of the time
    of this writing)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Im so confused! does this mean that MODE_WORLD_READABLE and MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE of getSharedPrefrences is there but NOT SUPPORTED YET in latest API level???</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!
