I'm trying to remove a preference from the screen so it isn't visible if the user is using an SDK greater than 2.2. I've found several answers saying that getPreferenceScreen().removePreference(thePreference) will work, but I'm getting FALSE returned every time I try it. Am I using it in the wrong place?
Any clue from my code?

I 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?
In a preferences screen in my application which is build by extending the PreferenceActivity i need to change background on the window itself and on the PreferenceCategory. How i can do it via Themes/Styles ? Which attributes i need to define ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
I'm currently using this in preferences.xml: .......................
This allows to trigger a custom Activity when this specific preferences item is triggered. Copying from the documentation, I'm using an implicit intent, and it's working. But I'd solve a problem if I could use an explicit intent, that is writing the fully qualified class name of the target Activity. I didn't find documentation about this, so I don't know whether it's possible and how to do that.
just wondering if there was any way to set per-app preferences for a secure lock screen with a pin entry. For example, i don't care if my google-music lock screen widget works while the phone is locked (and having to enter my pin every time I want to go forward or back a song sucks. That's just an example? Root-only options are welcome as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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?
I am attempting to add a simple preferences file in a new Android project (New -> Android XML File), but it doesn't appear to be working correctly.
There is no root element to choose from when I select the Preference type layout. If I press Finish, it doesn't do anything. See screenshot below.

I know that the android version 2.3.4 (cool ic sense) doesn't allow this function, as it was added later in newer android versions (or sense versions?).
Either way, is it possible to go inside the rom and edit the sense launcher, so that it only shows 3 screens for example.
