The plugin reduces the boilerplate required to mirror preference values in code and supports both library and application projects. ### Source excerpt Here on the Android team at Flipboard, we have a lot of settings for users to adjust their experience. If you throw in internal settings, we have about 100 total preferences to manage. This is a lot of boilerplate to maintain, because preferences in Android have no built-in synchronization (unlike Resources). Our 1 PreferenceFragment class has a couple hundred lines of boilerplate fields at the top where we keep in-code mirrors to these preference values. This design is tedious, brittle, and requires a lot of overhead to keep in sync with XML. We developed a Gradle plugin called PSync to solve this problem. PSync is an Android-specific Gradle plugin that generates Java representations of XML preferences. These Java classes can then be used directly in your code. The generated code is very much inspired by how 1 R.java works for resources, and should feel familiar to developers. It's easy to use, has some simple configurations for fine-tuning your generated code, and is ready to drop into both library and application projects. A full overview can be found on the GitHub README, but here's a quick preview: Say you have a preference: 1 2 3 4 You can reference it like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 String theKey = P.showImages.key; boolean current = P.showImages.get(); P.showImages.put(false).apply(); // If you use Rx-Preferences P.showImages.rx().asObservable().omgDoRxStuff! // If you need it boolean theDefault = P.showImages.defaultValue(); The generated Java code looks like so: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 public final class P { public static final class showImages { public static final String key = "show_images"; public static final boolean defaultValue() { return true; } public static final boolean get() { return PREFERENCES.getBoolean(key, defaultValue()); } public static final SharedPreferences.Editor put(final boolean val) { return PREFERENCES.edit().putBoolean(key, val
