Android :: Customize Row In ListPreference

Aug 7, 2010

Is there a way to use a custom row for the ListPreference in the Android preference screen? Currently I populate the ListPreference like this, but I need more info (description) shown in the List

int count = items.size();
CharSequence[] entries = new CharSequence[count];
CharSequence[] entryValues = new CharSequence[count];

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
entries[i] = items.get(i).toString();
entryValues[i] = String.valueOf(i);
}
langPref.setEntries(entries);
langPref.setEntryValues(entryValues);

Android :: Getting Key From ListPreference

Oct 2, 2009

When using a PreferenceActivity to do preferences, the PreferenceScreen can contain a ListPreference. A ListPreference has an array of keys and an array of values. But the PreferenceActivity only writes the values to SharedPreferences. How do I get the key of the item selected from the list? I would have thought this is pretty fundamental, especially if you want to translate your app.

Android :: No Ok Button When Using Listpreference

Mar 25, 2010

I'm using listpreference in my android app and getting my key values and all is well and works good (now that you guys have helped me) BUT - when my listpreference menus popup, they only contain a cancel button. Let's say the user is choosing between red, blue, and green. When the listpreference dialog first pops-up, the dialog only shows a cancel button. Because of that, the dialog disappears as soon as the user selects their choice. I would like it so that when the user chooses their setting, they see the radio button get highlighted and then they go ahead and click the ok button...but I don't have an ok button and can't figure out why.

Android :: Dynamic Content Of ListPreference

May 28, 2010

I want to put a ListPreference in my preference screen. But all the examples I have found in Internet the content are loaded out of a xml and I need that de options in the ListPreference are dynamic and not previously defined (in a xml).

I have mi preferences.xml in the folder xml/ of my project;
this is the code of preferences.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android

Android :: Display Current Value Of XML ListPreference

Mar 6, 2010

I have an XML preferences screen which is handled by addPreferencesFromResource. On it, there is a ListPreference, for which I want the summary to contain the current value of that preference. I think this would be a common requirement, as otherwise you could not see the present value of the preference without expending a click. I read that the summary field supports resource references, and I see that I can refer to preferences as android:summary="@+preference/prefname" in my ListPreference. Clearly this is why resource references would be supported in this field. However, when I try this, instead of the present value of prefname, the text "false" appears as the summary. Does anybody know how to display a current value without taking the seemingly ridiculous step of rewriting the entire (large) preference screen in Java?

Android :: Set Default Value To ListPreference Item

Sep 22, 2010

I'm trying to set a defaultValue to a ListPreference item. Here is an sample of my preference.xml file:

<ListPreference android:key="notification_delai"
android:title="@string/settings_push_delai"
android:entries="@array/settings_push_delai_human_value"
android:entryValues="@array/settings_push_delai_phone_value"
android:defaultValue="????">
</ListPreference>


The two arrays:
<string-array name="settings_push_delai_human_value">
<item>every 5 minutes</item>
<item>every 10 minutes</item>
<item>every 15 minutes</item>
</string-array>.............

Android :: ListPreference In Preference View

Jan 17, 2010

This is my first Android app (which is a soft keyboard, with dvorak layout) and so far it has gone pretty smoothly (either because or despite working from the sample code). I've had some problems (with special/swedish characters) that I've managed to take care of, but this problem I can't figure out how to solve..

But when I click the list item to edit it, i get an empty dialog (Title and button is shown right and with the text I set in the xml- file, but no list, screenshot: http://i49.tinypic.com/2501p55.png ). I can't see any problem with the program code (which isn't many lines..) or the xml (the arrays are generated by the Android utils in Eclipse and the preferences is a mix of auto and manual). You can see both Java code and XML here: http://pastebin.com/m4c52c3a2 (titles etc in Swedish..) (I've also tried a EditTextPreference item, which seemed to work fine..) I have also looked at the log/output using adb, and can't see any problems there either, so I have no idea onto how to solve this.

Android :: Using Listpreference And Retrieving Key String

Mar 23, 2010

I have a settings menu that pops up and in it is a listpreference type menu. It is associated with a settings.xml file where there are 'array-strings' within it. It all works good but I don't know how to retrieve the users preference. As an example, let's say the user picks a color (red, green, or blue). The list that I've made within my 'array-strings' contain the text red, green, and blue. Within my code, I would like to do something if the user has choosen red, something else if they choose blue, etc., etc. Would I use a 'case' statement or an 'if' statement? And most importantly, how would I retrieve the users preference - the key? (am I checking for a boolean?)

Android :: Simple ListPreference Is Not Working?

Aug 27, 2010

I'm betting im missing one small thing. I've looked on the developer site and i've read some tutorials and i'm just not seeing what i did wrong. I'm trying to use a ListPreference to decide which sound to play on a button click. I have this at the top:

public String greensound;
Here's my OnClick code:
case R.id.green:
SharedPreferences prefs=PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
greensound = prefs.getString("greensound", "gsone");
if (greensound == "gsone") {
mSoundManager.playSound(1);
} else if (greensound == "gstwo") {...................

Android :: Check Value Of ListPreference In OnResume()?

Oct 12, 2010

I have a ListPreference with the entries and entryValues correctly set. When I go in the prefernces activity and change the value it successfully works (I added a Toast to output the value after changing the option to test). But when I do the following to compare it, it always executes the else statment when I change it everytime, even like above when I changed the ListPreference and the value was "bluesky" it still failed to execute the correct if statement. Here's the code I use to check the value of the ListPreference in the onResume():

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this)
String backgroundPref = prefs.getString("backgroundPref", "");

if(backgroundPref == "bluesky"){
mainLayout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bluesky);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Blue Sky", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else if(backgroundPref == "sky"){
mainLayout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sky);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Sky", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else{
mainLayout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sunsetscene);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Sunset Scene", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

The Toasts are there so I can double check which statement gets executed, and it always seems to be the else one. Am I having a bad day and getting something wrong?

Android :: ListPreference To Play Sound Is Not Working

Aug 28, 2010

I'm trying to use a ListPreference to decide which sound to play on a button click.

I have this at the top:

public String greensound;

Here's my OnClick code:................

I also tried removing the default value here it didnt seem to change anything but, should it be removed?

Here's my Settings.java:

package com.my.app;

CODE:...........

And here's my array's if that will help at all:

CODE:............

Here's a logcat that kinda looked possibly related:

CODE:..........

For those that might ask here's my DDMS > File Explorer > Data > Data > packageName > SharedPreferences This is what was in there:

com.my.app_preferences.xml:

CODE:...................

This all really confuses me more because...It looks like greensound does == gsone so.... I don't understand whats wrong its not even playing the default sound. and yes i've tested all this code without the listpreference code and they work great. I'm not sure what's wrong?

Android :: Use ListPreference Modal View In ListActivity?

Mar 2, 2010

I am trying to put together a modal box with a scrollable list of checkable items and an OK and Cancel button at the bottom for the user to select filters from. It seems the simplest way to do things like this in Android is to reuse API components (widgets, layouts, etc) and the closest one I can find to this looks to be the ListPreference, which basically does exactly what I want (I can even work with storing the data in SharedPreferences). The problem is that I'm not launching this modal box from a PreferenceActivity, but rather will be launching it from either of two activities: a ListActivity and a MapActivity.

Android :: Load ListPreference Items From Adapter?

May 29, 2010

I'm setting out to create a settings activity for my app. I've defined a PreferenceActivity with a nice layout including a ListPreference object for the user to select a bluetooth device. I'm having trouble dynamically populating the list. I would like to populate ListPreference with values from an array adapter (which I'll create and populate with relevant bluetooth device names). If this were a spinner View, I could just call setAdapter(). However with the ListPreference object I can't figure out how to attach an adapter (findviewByID won't cast from View To ListPreference, so I can't even get a handle to the object). I would like to attach an adapter and then populate the adapter with values, which in turn would populate the ListPreference with values.

Android :: Customize Search Bar UI

Aug 27, 2009

I am developing an application that needs to extend the functionality of the android search bar. Basically I need to show a bitmap image for each suggestion. The current implementation of the search bar enables to show resource icons (with Search Manager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1 and Search Manager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_2). I don't see the way to customize the native search dialog. I think it is not a good idea to create my search component. I found an old entry in this group, but it doesn't have any answer (HTTP:// www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg31090.html). Basically the question is the same: "is the search UI customizable at all"?

Android :: Looking To Customize Home Screen

Dec 18, 2009

Just bought my droid and LOVIN' IT...but I'm looking to tweak it a little more. So far, I'm really digging' the home screens that a lot of you guys have posted on this site, and I'm trying to emulate them but it's a little difficult for me to do. I'd really appreciate it if you guys can lead me to the right direction on which apps and customizations I need to employ to get those similar settings. I'm mainly looking to do 2 things:
1.) get my home screen to have the time, date, and weather widget, while putting my favorite icons around it for this I downloaded Home++ and weather forecast widgets v2. However, I really don't like how the default time and date and bottom icons look that comes with the Home++. A lot of you guys have the screen that looks like the HTC Sense UI. It's awesome! How can I get my droid to look like this???
2.) I'm currently employing the 3 screen setting (which I like). I would like to put a full size calendar on the left screen so that I can flick it over whenever I need to take a look. Is this possible? And is there an app/widget that can do this?

Android :: Using BindView To Customize ListView

Feb 7, 2009

In all the examples I've found to manipulate each view in a ListView, the method always seems to be getView(). But these were never Adapters backed by a cursor. I decided to try bindView() within a SimpleCursorAdapter, and so far it works very nicely, especially with the cursor all set up for my use.

My question is, is this usage good practice, and could I run into a problem in future? My question may be dumb but I just couldn't find a good example code snippet that uses a cursor.
