Right now, preference titles can get cut off pretty quickly if the user set their display or font size to 'large', especially switch preference titles (see screenshot below). Note: Preferences are padded with (2x) 8dp horizontal padding.

Hi, great library!
I am trying to specify a summary for preferences that always have the current value of the preference formatted by a custom formatter. My usecase for this is a preference that opens a dialog window with a NumberPicker. I want to be nice and show the currently set value. For consistency, I would also like to do that for everything else too, like for seekbars which would mean hiding the built-in value display.
Is it possible somehow?
Thanks!

I've made a fork here https://github.com/MFlisar/ModernAndroidPreferences and implemented an arbitrary storage layer here

What I did:

• created an interface Storage
• created a default storage implementation SharedPreferencesStorage which works just as your current solution
• replaced the SharedPreferences inside your library with the Storage instance (builder, dsl, ...)

Why?

In my case I need multi process support and therefore I have written a room based preference library and I want to plug in this library into yours. Additionally, preferences are not the most modern solution for preferences, datastore is the new way - with my solution you can easily provide a storage implementation that uses the DataStore instead of the SharedPreferences in the future and still let your users choose. And of course, any user can replace the storage implementation with their own

Question

Do you think such a change (it's small and does not add any complexity to your library) does make sense and should be merged into your library? I did not adjust any tests yet but if you like the idea, I'll make those adjustments and create a pull request.

Currently EditTextPreference has no option for default value. But official xml version does.

Hi Max what's up?
Long time

This library is pretty awesome, it looks fantastic and this is the least painful way I encountered to handle preferences in Android

I messed around a bit with it in a new app I'm working on and it seems like when providing summary to the multiChoice preference it isn't shown anywhere, not where the normal summaries are and not in the dialog

Code:

 multiChoice("special_buttons", specialButtons) {
            title = "Special buttons"
            summary = "WIP: Choose what the special button to show"
        }

Thanks!

The logic in this line is never false.

Setting a breakpoint confirms this. The expression evaluates to false in this case even though there is no iconRes or icon set.

androidx.preference provides EditTextPreference as a way to accept arbitrary text input from users, which has no parallel in ModernAndroidPreference as of now.

It'd also be great to be able to have an optional validator method that would be called when the user attempts to save the value, and possibly a way to provide inputType flags for the underlying EditText so we can enforce things like numeric input without needing the validator or inconveniencing the user.

In PreferencesAdapter#onCreateViewHolder() only few types of layouts can be used. How can I create a custom preferences with custom layout?

I think maybe it'd help people visualize the differences in behavior, UI, etc. between AndroidX Preference and this library.

There is an error with this repository's Renovate configuration that needs to be fixed. As a precaution, Renovate will stop PRs until it is resolved.

Error type: Cannot find preset's package (github>Maxr1998-bot/.github//renovate-presets/default). Note: this is a nested preset so please contact the preset author if you are unable to fix it yourself.

Add some way to pass a custom style for the dialog in choice preferences

There should be a way to set a default value for the SingleChoice preference, example could be

val styleOption = listOf(
            SelectionItem(
                Prefs.Keys.ListStyles.COMPACT,
                "compact",
                ...
            ),
            SelectionItem(
                Prefs.Keys.ListStyles.STANDARD,
                "standard",
                ...
            ),
        )
        singleChoice(..., styleOption) {
            title = ...
            summary = ...
            icon = ...
            default = Prefs.Keys.ListStyles.STANDARD
        }
