 However, if you `import` this package to use any of its APIs directly, you
 should add it to your `pubspec.yaml` as usual.
 
+## Options
+
+The [SharedPreferencesAsync] and [SharedPreferencesWithCache] APIs can use [DataStore Preferences](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/datastore) or [Android SharedPreferences](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences) to store data.
+
+To use the `Android SharedPreferences` backend, use the `SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions` when using [SharedPreferencesAsync].

+<?code-excerpt "example/lib/main.dart (Android_Options)"?>
+```dart
+const SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions options =
+    SharedPreferencesAsyncAndroidOptions(
+        backend: SharedPreferencesAndroidBackendLibrary.SharedPreferences,
+        originalSharedPreferencesOptions: AndroidSharedPreferencesStoreOptions(
+            fileName: 'the_name_of_a_file'));
+```
+
+The [SharedPreferences] API uses the native [Android SharedPreferences](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences) tool to store data.
