I just new in flutter and coming from android, In android we declare sharedPreference name like
SharedPreferences sp = Activity.this.getSharedPreferences("USER", MODE_PRIVATE);
by this in android USER.xml file was created,
So, what will be the name of sharedPreference in created by flutter app in this example? how i store collection of data in sharedPreference,like USER, HOBBIES TYPES, etc
addIntToSF() async {
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
prefs.setInt('intValue', 123);
}
read data
getIntValuesSF() async {
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
//Return int
int intValue = prefs.getInt('intValue');
return intValue;
}
You can take a look at the source code of the shared_preferences
package:
// Line 37
private static final String SHARED_PREFERENCES_NAME = "FlutterSharedPreferences";
// ...
// Line 54
preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFERENCES_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
So the name is simply "FlutterSharedPreferences".
If you want to group entries by a model (e.g. User, HobbieType), you can add a prefix to each key:
addIntToSF() async {
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
// Entries related to users
prefs.setInt('User_intValue', 123);
prefs.setString('User_strValue', "123");
prefs.setBool('User_boolValue', true);
// Entries related to hobbie types
prefs.setInt('HobbieType_intValue', 456);
prefs.setString('HobbieType_strValue', "456");
prefs.setBool('HobbieType_boolValue', false);
}
