KotlinPreferences

Kotlin Android Library, that makes preference usage simple and fun.

KotlinPreferences now have a brother.

With KotlinPreferences, you can define different preference fields this way:

var SharedPreferences.canEatPie: Boolean by bindToPreferenceField(true)

And use it like any SharedPreference property:

preferences.canEatPie = true
if(preferences.canEatPie) //...

There are different ways to define this properties. Here are some possibilities: (see full example here and usage here)

With default value:

var SharedPreferences.canEatPie: Boolean by bindToPreferenceField(true)
var SharedPreferences.allPieInTheWorld: Long by bindToPreferenceField(0)

Nullable:

var SharedPreferences.monstersKilled: Int? by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable()
var SharedPreferences.experience: Float? by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable()
var SharedPreferences.className: String? by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable()

Can also keep other objects:

var SharedPreferences.character: Character by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable()
var SharedPreferences.savedGame: Game? by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable()

Node that this objects are serialized do string using Gson. If they include some, types that needs some serializers, then you need to set gson with converters. Instructions here.

Also keys can be specyfied: (this is important to make values immtuable to property name in case of changes in the app)

var SharedPreferences.monstersKilled: Int? by bindToPreferenceFieldNullable("MonstersKilledKey")
var SharedPreferences.allPieInTheWorld: Long by bindToPreferenceField(0, "AllPieKey")
