ModernAndroidPreferences

Android preferences in Kotlin DSL, displayed in a RecyclerView.

No XML, no troubles with PreferenceManager, Fragments, or styling, no more ListView.

Code example

// Setup a preference screen
val screen = screen(context) {
    pref("first") {
        title = "A preference"
        summary = "Click me to do stuff"
        click {
            doStuff()
        }
    }
    pref("second") {
        title = "Another one"
        iconRes = R.drawable.preference_icon_24dp
    }
    categoryHeader("more") {
        titleRes = R.string.category_more
    }
    switch("toggle_feature") {
        title = "Also supports switches"
    }
    // and many other preference widgets!
}
// Wrap the created screen in a preference adapter…
val preferencesAdapter = PreferencesAdapter(screen)
// …that can be attached to a RecyclerView
recyclerView.adapter = preferencesAdapter

Example app

Example Activities (with and without using ViewModel)
show advanced info like back handling, saving/restoring scroll position, and using the OnScreenChangeListener.

Include to project

ModernAndroidPreferences is on Maven Central,
so you can get it like any other dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation 'de.maxr1998:modernandroidpreferences:2.3.2'
}

NOTE: This library has previously been available as de.Maxr1998.android:modernpreferences on Bintray JCenter,
but was migrated to Sonatype Maven Central in light of the impending JCenter sunsetting.
To get in line with Maven naming standards, it was renamed to de.maxr1998:modernandroidpreferences.
