You would need to add this configuration to the `CoffeeLoggerWidgetConfigureActivity`:

- add a field like “long coffee amoung (g)”
- save this value in `CoffeeLoggerPersistance` (or directly in the `SharedPreferences`)
- use the saved value when adding a long Coffee in the `MainActivity` (or Service)

It’s just like we’ve done with the coffee limit in the tutorial but with a new user preference. Don’t forget to use the default value if the user doesn’t enter a preference

This tutorial is more than six months old so questions are no longer supported at the moment for it. Thank you!
