PreferencesManager (library API)

java.lang.Object
- universum.studios.android.preference.PreferencesManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

SharedPreferencesFacade, SharedPreferencesProvider
```
public class PreferencesManager
extends Object
implements SharedPreferencesFacade, SharedPreferencesProvider
```
Manager which implements SharedPreferencesFacade along with SharedPreferencesProvider in order to provide a simple API for putting and obtaining of values persisted within SharedPreferences.
Shared preferences
The PreferencesManager is closely associated with SharedPreference. Any implementation of SharedPreference class may be used to represent a concrete preference value to be persisted in shared preferences. Methods listed below may be used to put, get or remove a desired shared preference into or from preferences managed by the preferences manager:
Sample implementation
```
 public final class AppPreferences extends PreferencesManager {

      private static final String KEY_PREFIX = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID = ".PREFERENCE.";
      private static final String KEY_APP_FIRST_LAUNCH = KEY_PREFIX + "AppFirstLaunch";

      public AppPreferences(@NonNull Context context) {
          super(context);
      }

      public void setAppFirstLaunch(boolean firstLaunch) {
          putBoolean(KEY_APP_FIRST_LAUNCH, firstLaunch);
      }

      public boolean isAppFirstLaunch() {
          return getBoolean(KEY_APP_FIRST_LAUNCH, true);
      }
 }
 
```
