Dependency	Version
Kotlin	2.3.20
Jetbrains Compose	1.10.3
Jetbrains Compose Material3	1.9.0

⚠️ Following experimental annotations are used:

• OptIn
  • androidx.compose.ui.ExperimentalComposeUiApi (1x)

I try to use as less experimental features as possible, but in this case the ones above are needed!

🔧 Setup

Using Version Catalogs

Define the dependencies inside your libs.versions.toml file.

[versions]

composepreferences = "<LATEST-VERSION>"

[libraries]

composepreferences-core = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:core", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-bool = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-bool", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-button = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-button", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-color = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-color", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-date = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-date", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-input = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-input", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-list = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-list", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-number = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-number", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-screen-time = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-time", version.ref = "composepreferences" }
composepreferences-kotpreferences = { module = "io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:kotpreferences", version.ref = "composepreferences" }

And then use the definitions in your projects build.gradle.kts file like following:

implementation(libs.composepreferences.core)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.bool)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.button)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.color)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.date)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.input)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.list)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.number)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.screen.time)
implementation(libs.composepreferences.kotpreferences)

Direct Dependency Notation

Simply add the dependencies inside your build.gradle.kts file.

val composepreferences = "<LATEST-VERSION>"

implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:core:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-bool:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-button:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-color:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-date:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-input:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-list:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-number:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:screen-time:${composepreferences}")
implementation("io.github.mflisar.composepreferences:kotpreferences:${composepreferences}")

🚀 Usage

Basic example

// select a style for your preferences
val style = DefaultStyle.create()
val modernStyle = ModernStyle.create()

// create a preference settings instance (you can adjust a few additional settings here)
val settings = PreferenceSettingsDefaults.settings(
    style = style
)

// create a state for the preference screen (this is optional - only needed if you need access to informations from this state)
val state = rememberPreferenceState()

// create a preference screen
PreferenceScreen(
    modifier = Modifier,
    settings = settings,
    state = state
) {
    // preference items
    // ...
}

Preference items

Check out the modules region in the menu on the left to find out more about the different preference items.

Here's a very basic example to show you how the preference items are used inside the PreferenceScreen:

PreferenceScreen(
    // ...
) {
    PreferenceSection(
        title = "Section 1"
    ) {
        PreferenceInfo(
            title = "Info 1"
        )
        val checked = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
        PreferenceBool(
            value = checked,
            title = "Boolean Preference"
        )
        val input =  remember { mutableStateOf("") }
        PreferenceInputText(
            value = input,
            title = "Input Preference"
        )
    }
    PreferenceSection(
        title = "Section 2"
    ) {
        PreferenceInfo(
            title = "Info 2"
        )
    }
}
