shared_preferences_android

The Android implementation of shared_preferences.

Usage

This package is endorsed, which means you can simply use shared_preferences normally. This package will be automatically included in your app when you do, so you do not need to add it to your pubspec.yaml.

However, if you import this package to use any of its APIs directly, you should add it to your pubspec.yaml as usual.

Options

The [SharedPreferencesAsync] and [SharedPreferencesWithCache] APIs can use DataStore Preferences or Android SharedPreferences to store data.

To use the Android SharedPreferences backend, use the SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions when using [SharedPreferencesAsync].

const SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions options =
    SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions(
        backend: SharedPreferencesAndroidBackendLibrary.SharedPreferences,
        originalSharedPreferencesOptions: AndroidSharedPreferencesStoreOptions(
            fileName: 'the_name_of_a_file'));

The [SharedPreferences] API uses the native Android SharedPreferences tool to store data.
