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
