context
- The context of the shared preferences.resId
- The resource ID of the preference XML file.readAgain
- Whether to re-read the default values.
If false, this method sets the default values only if this
method has never been called in the past (or if the
KEY_HAS_SET_DEFAULT_VALUES
in the default value shared
preferences file is false). To attempt to set the default values again
bypassing this check, set readAgain
to true.
Note: this will NOT reset preferences back to their default
values. For that functionality, use
getDefaultSharedPreferences(Context)
and clear it followed by a call to this method with this
parameter set to true.
