Hi all, I've just landed GeckoSharedPrefs (bug 940575) in fx-team (it's looking all green so it should hit m-c very soon). GeckoSharedPrefs is the API for scoped SharedPreferences in Fennec. This means, we can now easily scope SharedPreferences keys per profile or for the whole app. So, here's what you need to know:
- If you want to store a app-scoped key, accessible across profiles, use GeckoSharedPrefs.forApp() to get a SharedPreferences instance. - If you want to store a profile-scope key, only available to the current profile, use GeckoSharedPrefs.forProfile() to get a SharedPreferences instance. - We should *not* be use PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences() anywhere in our code. GeckoSharedPrefs also has infrastructure to migrate existing keys to different scopes. For now, I've migrated all keys stored in PreferenceManager to the app or default profile scopes. If you know of any existing keys that are currently app-scoped but should actually be per profile, just add a new migration and update the forApp()/forProfile() calls accordingly. Let's try to do those migrations in batches though. Let me know if you have any questions.
