getFloat

float getFloat (ContentResolver cr, 
                String name, 
                float def)

Convenience function for retrieving a single secure settings value as a floating point number. Note that internally setting values are always stored as strings; this function converts the string to an float for you. The default value will be returned if the setting is not defined or not a valid float.

getFloat

float getFloat (ContentResolver cr, 
                String name)

Convenience function for retrieving a single secure settings value as a float. Note that internally setting values are always stored as strings; this function converts the string to a float for you.

This version does not take a default value. If the setting has not been set, or the string value is not a number, it throws Settings.SettingNotFoundException.

getInt

int getInt (ContentResolver cr, 
                String name)

Convenience function for retrieving a single secure settings value as an integer. Note that internally setting values are always stored as strings; this function converts the string to an integer for you.

This version does not take a default value. If the setting has not been set, or the string value is not a number, it throws Settings.SettingNotFoundException.
