@ohos.data.preferences (User Preferences)

The Preferences module provides APIs for processing data in the form of key-value (KV) pairs, and supports persistence of the KV pairs when required, as well as modification and query of the data.

The key is of the string type, and the value can be a number, a string, a Boolean value, or an array of numbers, strings, or Boolean values.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

data_preferences.getPreferences

getPreferences(context: Context, name: string, callback: AsyncCallback<Preferences>): void

Obtains a Preferences instance. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.DistributedDataManager.Preferences.Core

Removes a Preferences instance from the cache. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

After an application calls getPreferences for the first time to obtain a Preferences instance, the obtained Preferences instance is cached. When the application calls getPreferences again, the Preferences instance will be read from the cache instead of from the persistent file. After this API is called to remove the instance from the cache, calling getPreferences again will read data from the persistent file and create a new Preferences instance.

After the Preferences instance is removed, do not use it to perform data operations. Otherwise, data inconsistency may be caused. For this purpose, set the removed Preferences instance to null. The system will reclaim the removed Preferences instances in a unified manner.

Preferences

Provides APIs for obtaining and modifying the stored data.

Before calling any method of Preferences, you must obtain a Preferences instance by using data_preferences.getPreferences.

get

get(key: string, defValue: ValueType, callback: AsyncCallback<ValueType>): void
