android - Can I access data stored in React Native's AsyncStorage from java layer?

Question

I am storing few user preferences in React Native using AsyncStorage. Now, I need to get those preference from a background service. I can't access AsyncStorage from the Java layer. Is there a way to do it?

In iOS, We can import RCTAsyncLocalStorage.h and call _getValueForKey. But, I can't find a way to do it in Android.

Answer 1

I tried to use the AsyncStorage from the java layer. But, I couldn't. So, I built a React Native plugin to access Android's Native SharedPreferences from the javascript layer. I have published it in the github (https://github.com/sriraman/react-native-shared-preferences)

Now I'm using this SharedPreferences from both Java and React Native layer.
