Turbo Native Modules: Android

Now it's time to write some Android platform code to make sure localStorage survives after the application is closed.

The first step is to implement the generated NativeLocalStorageSpec interface:

android/app/src/main/java/com/nativelocalstorage/NativeLocalStorageModule.java
package com.nativelocalstorage;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import com.nativelocalstorage.NativeLocalStorageSpec;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;

public class NativeLocalStorageModule extends NativeLocalStorageSpec {

  private static final String NAME = "NativeLocalStorage";

  public NativeLocalStorageModule(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
    super(reactContext);
  }

  @Override
  public String getName() {
    return NAME;
  }

  @Override
  public void setItem(String value, String key) {
    SharedPreferences sharedPref = getReactApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("my_prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
    editor.putString(key, value);
    editor.apply();
  }

  @Override
  public String getItem(String key) {
    SharedPreferences sharedPref = getReactApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("my_prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String username = sharedPref.getString(key, null);
    return username;
  }

  @Override
  public void removeItem(String key) {
    SharedPreferences sharedPref = getReactApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("my_prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    sharedPref.edit().remove(key).apply();
  }
}

Next we need to create NativeLocalStoragePackage. It provides an object to register our Module in the React Native runtime, by wrapping it as a Turbo Native Package:

android/app/src/main/java/com/nativelocalstorage/NativeLocalStoragePackage.java
package com.nativelocalstorage;

import com.facebook.react.TurboReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;
import com.facebook.react.module.model.ReactModuleInfo;
import com.facebook.react.module.model.ReactModuleInfoProvider;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class NativeLocalStoragePackage extends TurboReactPackage {

  @Override
  public NativeModule getModule(String name, ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
    if (name.equals(NativeLocalStorageModule.NAME)) {
      return new NativeLocalStorageModule(reactContext);
    } else {
      return null;
    }
  }

  @Override
  public ReactModuleInfoProvider getReactModuleInfoProvider() {
    return new ReactModuleInfoProvider() {
      @Override
      public Map<String, ReactModuleInfo> get() {
        Map<String, ReactModuleInfo> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put(NativeLocalStorageModule.NAME, new ReactModuleInfo(
          NativeLocalStorageModule.NAME,       // name
          NativeLocalStorageModule.NAME,       // className
          false, // canOverrideExistingModule
          false, // needsEagerInit
          false, // isCXXModule
          true   // isTurboModule
        ));
        return map;
      }
    };
  }
}

Finally, we need to tell the React Native in our main application how to find this Package. We call this "registering" the package in React Native.

In this case, you add it to be returned by the getPackages method.

Later you’ll learn how to distribute your Turbo Native Modules as [npm packages](s](the-new-architecture/create-module-library.md#publish-the-library-on-npm), which our build tooling will autolink for you.

android/app/src/main/java/com/turobmoduleexample/MainApplication.java
package com.inappmodule;

import android.app.Application;
import com.facebook.react.PackageList;
import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication;
import com.facebook.react.ReactHost;
import com.facebook.react.ReactNativeHost;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint;
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactHost;
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactNativeHost;
import com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader;
import com.nativelocalstorage.NativeLocalStoragePackage;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  private final ReactNativeHost reactNativeHost = new DefaultReactNativeHost(this) {
    @Override
    public List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
      // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
      // packages.add(new MyReactNativePackage());
      packages.add(new NativeLocalStoragePackage());
      return packages;
    }

    @Override
    public String getJSMainModuleName() {
      return "index";
    }

    @Override
    public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
      return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isNewArchEnabled() {
      return BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isHermesEnabled() {
      return BuildConfig.IS_HERMES_ENABLED;
    }
  };

  @Override
  public ReactHost getReactHost() {
    return DefaultReactHost.getDefaultReactHost(getApplicationContext(), reactNativeHost);
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    SoLoader.init(this, false);
    if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {
      // If you opted-in for the New Architecture, we load the native entry point for this app.
      DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.load();
    }
  }
}

You can now build and run your code on an emulator:

npm run android
