EncryptedSharedPreferences

public final class EncryptedSharedPreferences implements SharedPreferences

An implementation of SharedPreferences that encrypts keys and values. WARNING: The preference file should not be backed up with Auto Backup. When restoring the file it is likely the key used to encrypt it will no longer be present. You should exclude all EncryptedSharedPreferences from backup using backup rules. Basic use of the class: 

 MasterKey masterKey = new MasterKey.Builder(context)
     .setKeyScheme(MasterKey.KeyScheme.AES256_GCM)
     .build();

 SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = EncryptedSharedPreferences.create(
     context,
     "secret_shared_prefs",
     masterKey,
     EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme.AES256_SIV,
     EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme.AES256_GCM
 );

 // use the shared preferences and editor as you normally would
 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();

@NonNull EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme prefKeyEncryptionScheme

The scheme to use for encrypting keys.
@NonNull EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme prefValueEncryptionScheme

The scheme to use for encrypting values.
Returns
@NonNull SharedPreferences

The SharedPreferences instance that encrypts all data.
