LiveData with shared preferences

I have a settings screen where I am setting some values. When I set those values it gets saved in shared preferences and these values are needed in my request to the network api call as parameters.

Now I can use a listener for shared preferences in my activity then make an api call and get fresh data, but I want to use this with LiveData.

How can I listen for changes in the shared preferences using LiveData and then make the network call using the new parameters.

Java Code by Idish, though he commented here, but not sure, why he didn't add it as answer.

Pasting the same code below:

public abstract class SharedPreferenceLiveData<T> extends LiveData<T> {

SharedPreferences sharedPrefs;
String key;
public T defValue;

public SharedPreferenceLiveData(SharedPreferences prefs, String key, T defValue) {
    this.sharedPrefs = prefs;
    this.key = key;
    this.defValue = defValue;
}

private SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener preferenceChangeListener = new SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
        if (SharedPreferenceLiveData.this.key.equals(key)) {
            setValue(getValueFromPreferences(key, defValue));
        }
    }
};
abstract T getValueFromPreferences(String key, T defValue);

@Override
protected void onActive() {
    super.onActive();
    setValue(getValueFromPreferences(key, defValue));
    sharedPrefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(preferenceChangeListener);
}

@Override
protected void onInactive() {
    sharedPrefs.unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(preferenceChangeListener);
    super.onInactive();
}
public SharedPreferenceLiveData<Boolean> getBooleanLiveData(String key, Boolean defaultValue) {
    return new SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData(sharedPrefs,key, defaultValue);
}
}

SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData class

public class SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData extends SharedPreferenceLiveData<Boolean>{

public SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData(SharedPreferences prefs, String key, Boolean defValue) {
    super(prefs, key, defValue);
}

@Override
Boolean getValueFromPreferences(String key, Boolean defValue) {
    return sharedPrefs.getBoolean(key, defValue);
}

}

Calling this like the below code mentioned in this link:

 SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
 SharedPreferenceStringLiveData sharedPreferenceStringLiveData = new SharedPreferenceStringLiveData(preferences, "cid", "");
 sharedPreferenceStringLiveData.getStringLiveData("cid", "").observe(this, cid -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Change in CID "+cid, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 });

Again if using a Preference Helper class, the class can be called as below: Just a sample:

public class PreferenceManager {
private SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData sharedPreferenceLiveData;

public SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData getSharedPrefs(){
        return sharedPreferenceLiveData;
    }

public void setSharedPreferences(String key, boolean value) {

        SharedPreferences userDetails = context.getSharedPreferences(APP_PREFERENCE,
            Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = userDetails.edit();
        editor.putBoolean(key, value);
        editor.apply();
        sharedPreferenceLiveData = new SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData(userDetails,key,value);
    }
}

And in the activity class call it as below: Create an object:

SharedPreferenceBooleanLiveData sharedPreferenceLiveData;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    sharedPreferenceLiveData = preferenceManager.getSharedPrefs();
}

And observe it as follows:

sharedPreferenceLiveData.getBooleanLiveData(PreferenceKey.KEY_LOCATION_PERMISSION,false).observe(this,check->{
        if(check){
            setPermissionGranted(check);
        }
    });
