This enables us to use findPreference() method to retrieve the layout preferences by their key. Inside this, we will create an instance of Preference Manager and set shared preference name for it and set the preference using the layout file. Then we will override onCreatePreferenceFix() method. Make a separate preference fragment class named LegalPreferenceFragment which extends PreferenceFragmentCompat. We will use this library which is built on top of official preference-v7 library.įirstly, we will make a preference resource layout file and add the preference for privacy policy and cookie policy in the preference screen. The benefit of storing the data in shared preference and not in local storage is that the access time for the data is drastically reduced and the data persists even when the app is closed.
#Android migrate shared preferences to preference manager how to#
In this blog post we will see how to add preference settings to the app by storing the data in shared preferences. SharedPreferences prefs PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext()) boolean previouslyStarted prefs.getBoolean(getString(R.string. The user can access these items in Settings Preference which in device settings. For an instance, in Open Event Organizer App we added the preferences to store the privacy policy, cookie policy etc.
It is very much likely that one needs to add preferences to their app which span the entire application and therefore can be accessed anywhere in the app without storing anything in database or making global variables.
