View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Weird Behavior Of Java.util.Preferences
Sep 25, 2009My app needs to save its state before being killed, and since that state is really small (one Long), I've decided to use java.util.Preferences. I use it like the way I would be using in any Java application (and never had problems), though I am not sure this is the correct way here on Android platform: private static final Preferences prefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage (WordChoice.class);
I update preferences in onPause() method, to ensure that data is always persisted no matter how my app ends: Here is that fragment of code: protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); prefs.putLong("currIndex", somePositiveValue); }
Android :: Force Close When Trying To Call Preferences.java / Why Is So Happening?
Sep 23, 2010Been trying to call Preferences.java class using:
Intent settingsActivity = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Preferences.class);
startActivity(settingsActivity);
I have this in my Manifest.xml (outside the main app class activity). code...
Any ideas why it's force closing even though I have the Activity defined in the Manifest.xml?
Android :: Preferences - How To Load The Default Values When User Hasnt Used Preferences-screen
Apr 22, 2010I am using a PreferenceActivity to let the user set some values. I am feeding it the xml file with the defined preferences.
I have set all the android:defaultValue="" for them.
When I start my application, I need the preferences, or if they are not set yet manually, I want the default values:
CODE:.................
However, when android:defaultValue="true" I still get false. So, it looks like the defaultValues set in the XML are not used anywhere but when initializing the preferences-screen.
I don't want to hardcode the default values in the getBoolean() method. So, is there a way get the default-values with only defining these in 1 place?
Android : Save Preferences Other Than Shared Preferences?
Mar 19, 2010My application is used on multiple platforms so it saves it preferences to a file (rather than to the standard Android SharedPreferences).
Is there any easy of reusing the PreferenceActivity to save preferences to a file or is it a case of creating a whole new activity to do the job? If the latter is the case is there a layout I can use that will make the activity look like the normal preferences screen? PreferenceActivity uses com.android.internal.R.layout.preference_list_content but this doesn't appear to be available to apps for reuse.
Android :: Java Settings Object - Serialization/deserialization
Dec 2, 2009(Code is for Android Actually, I need code to be portable between Android and Java SE.)
I want to have a "settings" class with various game settings, like
public int map_size;
public String server_name;
etc.
The data needs to be accessed fairly frequently (so members, not a key-value map), and from time to time de/serialized in some standard way (mainly to send it through network).
I want to be able to
Serialize and deserialize the object into XML or JSON, without having to explicitly write the code for every member (but still having some degree of control over the format).
Define some (constant) meta-data about every member (default value, GUI name, XML identifier, ...), in a way that allows for easy modification in the source code (I want to be able to add a new meta-property, define a default value for it, and not have to specify it everywhere else).
1 is achievable by using reflection. I thought Java annotations for class members would be perfect for 2:
CODE:.............
But it looks like (user-defined) annotations don't work in Android yet - code using them crashes the compiler...
What would be the easiest way to store the meta-data about the settings (or another way to approach all this)?
Store information about settings in some external XML file? Store it in a Java data structure, with content defined in the code? Defining the data in this way somehow seems very unwieldy, especially compared to keyword arguments of annotations?
Android :: User Preferences File Vs App Preferences File
Jun 23, 2010My android application has two kinds of preferences:
1) I have user preferences defined in res/xml/preferences.xml so that users can manage their preferences with a PreferenceActivity.
2) I'd like to define another file for global configuration preferences of my app.
What is the best way to manage my app config preferences? Should I create another XML file with config values or should I specify those config values in strings.xml? What is the best practice for managing config preferences?

Android :: How To Implement Exclusive Preferences?
Jul 9, 2009I would like to give users a choice of starting one of three different activities by choosing from three mutually choices. And I would like to provide users these choices as Preferences. If I use CheckboxPreference, user can select more than choices. Something like "RadioGroupPreference" would be good but it is not available from SDK. Can mutually exclusive preferences be implemented? Pointers or suggestions are greater appreciated.

Jan 22, 2009I'm having this problem with one of my apps where some people are reporting that their preferences are not being saved when they close and resume the app. The preferences theyre talking about happen to be actual Preferences (i.e. the built-in preferences manager for an activity). They say they're not doing anything special, just exiting the app and going back to it. Does anyone know why the prefs wouldn't be saved for only this select few people? I'm at a complete loss.
