Slows down my app about secure-preferences HOT 6 CLOSED

hmm, I'm assuming you talking specifically get/put secure prefs? as the init slowness is covered in another issue #18 . Do you have any tests or sample code we could review and specific timings? a library like Hugo might help? also do you mean 0.1.0 not 0.0.1

from secure-preferences.

I mean 0.1.1. I don't know how to create tests for this yet, I'll look into Hugo. But I can tell you unequivocally that downgrading back to 0.0.4 made my app faster again.

That figures as the 0.1.x change was pretty big and replaced the core crypto used by Secure Prefs making it stronger. If you see issue #18 we are looking to add a way of providing your own key which you can generate quicker if you're wanting performance over security. The default is higher security. When I get chance I'll add an async way of initialising Secure Prefs.

• Are you seeing the slowness when you init or put/get?
• What size of strings are you storing? I was just thinking if they were large that could be why you're seeing slowness

from secure-preferences.

I am seeing slowness when I init. Then my whole app comes down to a crawl. The size of strings are small, less than few dozen characters - primarily an auth token from the server.

Ok, right. In the next version 0.1.3, we should have a way of speeding the init up. Although once it's instantiated it should be ok. I'll create a task to review performance differences between secure prefs and standard shared prefs
