How To Share User Preferences Between Devices With Xamarin

165 Views Asked by At

I've been making Windows apps (C# / XAML), for a while, and there is a built-in RoamingSettings space so the app can share preferences across multiple Windows devices (using the same Microsoft Account). Since Xamarin can work across multiple platforms, is there a way to do this?

I was thinking about some form of internet database, but I'm not hip on storing user data. Plus, it would either require authentication or store everyone's data in one big table.

I was thinking that Project Rome would be good for this, but it seems to be more geared towards hand-off workflows (not just sharing a font size or something).

Do you guys have any easy ideas (I stress the word "easy", as I'm just a hobbyist and not a real programmer).

Check out Visual Studio Mobile Center and EasyTables. That should do what you want, but needs an Azure subscription. It's in preview at the moment but works pretty well.
