Discussion: Add support for DataStore (shared preferences replacement)

Open bizzguy opened this issue 3 years ago • 10 comments

Android has introduced a replacement for Shared Preferences called DataStore

 https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/datastore

Just asking if there are any plans on the roadmap to create a plugin for DataStore?

Some thoughts. I started looking at the DataStore API and there seem to be some deficiencies in "discovery" of DataStores and in interrogating a DataStore for its preference values and types.

Given that it is still in beta, I don't think I'd actually use DataStore on a production project yet. Here is the history of the library versions:

I'm going to continue to experiment with it but creating a plugin may be a little premature.

Is anybody (that uses Flipper) actually using DataStore yet?

Also, just thinking ahead. Seems like the current "Shared Preference Viewer" desktop plugin could be the first version of a DataSource Viewer. Thoughts?

Update: Shared Preference Viewer does not use DataTable which might actually be a better UI experience to fix that first.

Thanks for the updates! Yeah agreed that using the same plugin makes sense!
