title: How do I use sharedPreferences outside of an Activity?
body: <p>I've been stuck on this very simple problem for hours now and Ive been unable to find any suitable solutions through google.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to use the SharedPreferences class in the model layer of my application. Specifically I want to be able to save or fetch the user name and the corresponding token whenever the application is started(if the user sets the application up for auto login that is).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to use SharedPreferences for this issue or am I forced into using FileInput/Output ?</p>
