Description

Currently it's more integration tests rather than a unit. For example, we don't know if it really writes values to SharedPreferences and reads them back or if it stores values just in memory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to mock SharedPreferences in Android unit tests. Replace direct SharedPreferences usage with a mock object using Mockito or similar framework. Ensure tests verify behavior without relying on actual SharedPreferences implementation.
