:core:prefs

Overview

The :core:prefs module provides a type-safe preferences layer backed by DataStore (multiplatform). On Android, legacy SharedPreferences are automatically migrated to DataStore on first access via SharedPreferencesMigration.

Key Components

1. DataStore Providers (CorePrefsAndroidModule)

Provides named DataStore<Preferences> singletons for each preference domain (analytics, app, map, mesh, radio, UI, etc.). Each DataStore uses an injected CoroutineDispatchers.io scope and includes a SharedPreferencesMigration for seamless migration from the legacy preference files.

2. Specialized Prefs

  • RadioPrefs: Manages radio-specific settings (e.g., the last connected device address).
  • UiPrefs: Manages UI preferences (e.g., theme selection, unit systems).
  • MapPrefs: Manages mapping preferences (e.g., preferred map provider).
