This was actually a lot easier to follow than the official CodeLab for DataStore Preferences. They were leading on a goose chase of using repositories

deprecated: createDataStore() -> NEW: val Context.dataStore by preferencesDataStore(name = "settings") data = dataStore maybe you have some problems with Preferences, you should use it: import androidx.datastore.preferences.core.edit import androidx.datastore.preferences.preferencesDataStore

Really Thankful to you Philip Everyday before I sleep I make sure I see one of your videos Thanks!

plz make a playlist on jetpack architecture components!!!

In version 1.0.0 (stable version): Instead of: val dataStoreKey = preferencesKey(key) Use the code below in save and read functions: val dataStoreKey = stringPreferencesKey(key)

I was hoping to find a datastore tutorial by PL. 😊

Thanks man 👍🏻 You're a gem 💎

Thank you again! This will be very useful for me very soon. And I have some feedback for you :) The way you make your video are pretty good, and I think it would be even better if you include a brief section at the start of the video (maybe after the demo) where you talk about the big steps like an overview. For example: 1. Add dependencies. 2. Create Datastore object. 3. Create function to save data. 4. Create function to read data. 5. Calling the functions from buttons. 6. ... For me this kind of overview helps me follow better because I know where we're at an where we're going next, especially when it's something new. If I have no idea of the big steps I tend to wonder: So are we done with the object creation? Ah not yet. Done yet? Not yet. Is this the last variable that we need? Nope we need one more, no actually one more... (I get distracted like this) This is my personal feedback for you to add to others' feedback and see what suits best for your audience as a whole :) I hope your channel grows even more as days pass, keep up the good work, I'll always support you for the efforts you put in these contents. Thank you!

Love u man.. U just upload videos exactly what I'm missing or want to learn and without asking you... Your choice of video topic is on point..

Thanx man this was very helpful 😊

you're the best philipp

thanks another awesome course

I like these short videos.

Thanks for the video, useful stuff as always! Also, and I don't want to sound like a smart-ass, but I think we only need to nullify the binding variable in fragments (since only fragments have different lifecycles for their instance and their view, which causes the memory leak in the first place).

Awesome mentor 🙏

Hello, I was a bit confused..... the function createDataStore has been removed as of the Stable release of DataStore.

In version 1.0.0-alpha07 the Context.createDataStore extension function has been removed and replaced with globalDataStore property delegate.

Thanks a lot for this video.

Another great video!

Thanks for this! The official CodeLab was way too complicated for me to follow

Very interested video!

Please make an updated video on shared preferences for complex tasks

The old sharedpreferences is deprecated not the androidx version. Don't go down this DataStore track if you are still planning to use the Preferences screens because they are not compatible, no one mentions this. In the docs, sharedpreferences are still recommended for its traditional use case and has the advantage many advantages.

Thanks a lot man! As always very clear and constructed tutorial. Can you also create a video about using dataStore in Java for login session (storing user acount details)?

Helpful video , thank you so much , but there is also prototypes , are you making any videos about that ?

Hello, Philipp Lacner I got question, if you could answer it that would be very helpful. so, in new API version there would be changes and some codes might be deprecated as you mentioned, but when we are developing new app we must make sure the app should run on older Android versions, so if we use latest technology(code), would it run on older APIs. even though when code deprecated it still works. right? both on older and latest APIs

Thank you man

Hey @philip the save and read are async so before reading we should ensure that save is finished right.?

How do you store objects (like with JSON in SharedPreferences)?

Thanks for the good video, in a bit large project don't we need to create datastore as a Singltone object ?

What if we want to read from the data store on a settings screen without providing default values for the switches (I want the switches to be on as soon as the screen comes up, but if I set the stateFlow to lateinit, I will get an error because by the time View model is created, the coroutine hasn't finished executing yet)?

how about datastore in livedata(viewmodel) i already created my own version though i'm not sure if that is correct.

Hey in new library I am not able to import preferencesKey with this version implementation "androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences-core:1.0.0-alpha06"

wow video. Please make video on video streaming and custom view.

I want to make a questionnaire styled app. Where there are lets say 5 multiple choice questions. And depending what choice it itll be different prices of something. So like a very basic bare bones version of a shopping cart. Would this be the method to go with? I have a photography business and I want to add up everything at the end and display it to the user.

Hi and thanks for the great videos you share with us. I have a problem using Datastore.. everything works perfect until trying to open fragment for second time. Then i get error There are multiple DataStores active for the same file: ..... You should either maintain your DataStore as a singleton or confirm that there is no two DataStore's active on the same file (by confirming that the scope is cancelled). Stucked and don't know what to do to fix this... Can you give a little help?

Nice video. I have question how to remove value of the specific key or how to clear whole datastore value like we used to do in shared preference by calling clear()

Thanks

Hi, do you have any videos for networking and database caching

Thanks. Please make a video about MVI architecture. Can't find good explanation of that with a simple example :(

@Philipp Lackner Could we get something on MediaStore API, like how retrieve all photos on an Android device and plug it into a ML Recognition service.

Wow thanks.. I need help.. I have User model, and want it to save in DataStore with data type as User. So when I read DataStore, I get User data. Any efficient idea how to do it? Thank you

How is you update UI from background launch???

How can I use it in settings fragment?

How to retrieve data from DataStore preference to using in OkHttp Interceptor with Dagger Hilt?

What is the secure way to store JWT token on android ?

thanks you

Dear , My question is reading data from datastore using lifecycleScope is safe. It may causes ANR(Application not responding). Pls make video on how ANR occur on fetching data from datastore

Thanks :D

I listened we can save class of arrayList before Can I !?

dhanyawaad chacha

Thanks. It was very clear. But can we save Lists/Arrays via Preference DataStore?

hello please make it possible to pay in digital currency to purchase courses.

wow didn't know sharedpreferences going to be deprecated

Thanks :)

still using SharedPreferences :( but since this video is uploaded will switch to dataStore with DI :)

How to secure this?

Hey philipp when using a fragment with viewBinding do you really need to set it to null in onDestroy callback?

Good tut , and Friday is not black its white.

To anyone watching this video and wishing to add Preferences DataStore to your application. Please note that you should add exception handling before releasing this code into production. The code in this video is not production ready and should be treated accordingly

Nice video., I have a question,.how to return a value from lifecyclescope.launch . This value we will get inside this launch and I want to return this in another function.

Shouldn't we specify IO Dispatchers?

its 2023 i dont know sharedpref were deprecated

Way not simple? Complicated Android remaking the road. createDataStore not isn't found for me.

If you think he's clickbaiting by writing "deprecated", don't forget that once he deprecated his channel name as well. 😂😂

Hii can u make the video on how to pass data in nested graph in fragments . Let's say Graph1 has fragment A,B,C,D Fragment B contain a graph having fragment P,Q,R,S. So I need to pass model from fragment B to any fragment P,Q,R,S As per needs Plz give me solutions thanks

save shared pref to database ? hahahah why i need shared pref if saved user info to database

6.6 min with 1.5 time speed 😝

nice smart video 🦥
