Library that uses android preferences quickly to write and read int, float, long, String, boolean, Object from memory.
You can use this library anywhere on your app, it just needs a context.
public class PrefsApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
PreferencesManager pm = new PreferencesManager(this);
pm.setInt("intKey", 5);
pm.setFloat("floatKey", 2.392658f);
pm.setLong("longKey", 12000000000L);
pm.setString("stringKey", "Test string");
pm.setBoolean"boolKey", false);
pm.setObject("objectKey", new String("Test object"));
int preferencesInt = pm.getInt("intKey");
float preferencesFloat = pm.getFloat("floatKey");
long preferencesLong = pm.getLong("longKey");
String preferencesString = pm.getString("stringKey");
boolean preferencesBoolean = pm.getBoolean("boolKey");
String preferencesStringObject = (String)pm.getObject("objectKey");
}
}Installation is done using Jitpack. Add to the root application build.gradle
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}In the single module build.gradle add
dependencies {
...
implementation 'it.lucacrema:android-preferences:3.1.1'
}Initialization
PreferencesManager pm = new PreferencesManager(context);With Android preferences you can read and write int, float, long, String, boolean and Object, the way you do it is:
pm.set{type of data}(key, value);
pm.get{type of data}(key);Where {type of data} can be Int, Float, Long, String, Boolean, Object
There is a method to get a Map<String, ?> of all saved values:
pm.getAllValues();You can also remove saved values of any type
pm.removeValue(key);And remove all the saved values
pm.removeAllValues();If you want to save a counter in preferences and update it you can use
pm.updateInt key); //Adds 1 to the currently saved value
pm.updateInt(key, 5); //Adds 5 to the currently saved valueIf you need to save a counters that resets to 1 once it gets to a defined value you can use:
pm.shiftInt(key, 3); //returns 1 (if the value was empty)
pm.shiftInt(key, 3); //returns 2
pm.shiftInt(key, 3); //returns 3
pm.shiftInt(key, 3); //returns 1If you were to use the same string key for two values of different type, the old value would be overwritten
pm.setInt("key", 5);
pm.setString("key", "string");
pm.getInt("key"); //Throws ClassCastException
pm.getString("key"); //returns "string"MIT License
