Only one instance of the SharedPreferences object is returned to any callers for the same name, meaning they will see each other's edits as soon as they are made.
This method is thread-safe.
If the preferences directory does not already exist, it will be created when this method is called.
If a preferences file by this name does not exist, it will be created when you retrieve an editor (SharedPreferences#edit()) and then commit changes (SharedPreferences.Editor#commit() or SharedPreferences.Editor#apply()).
