I am initialising the user prefs and i am setting and getting numeric prefs but i do not seems to be able to get and set string prefs. the prefs i initialise are not altered later on in the gadget, but int prefs are.
i set the user pref up the set the actual value prefs.set("Cpopup8_value",popup8_value); later in the app the value can be changed
but when accessing it later it is still the original default value popup8_value = prefs.getString("Cpopup8_value");
i have checked that i am actually writing the correct value which seems to be the case and i have also checked i have not exceeded the 2k limit.
Storing and retrieving integers works fine.
