Android :: IconPreferenceScreen That Extends PreferenceScreen
Jul 28, 2010
I would like to have a Preferences activity that has icons like the system settings has had since Eclair. It uses a special Preference called IconPreferenceScreen.I can copy that into my project without problem, but I'd like the behavior of the PreferenceScreen instead of just the Preference Class. I could like to click on it to show its children Preferences. I thought it would be a easy to change to make IconPreferenceScreen extend PreferenceScreen instead of Preference, but PreferenceScreen is Final.Why on earth would google make PreferenceScreen a final class? Is there anyway to achieve what I would like to do, short of dividing up my Preference into several other Preferences that all receive intents (That's how the system settings works.)

Is it possible to set a background image on a PreferenceScreen? I have tried the tag android: background= "@ drawable/some_background" which can be set in for example a LinearLayout XML, but it doesn't work in the PreferenceScreen.

My application has a setting menu which is actually a PreferenceActivity.When it's created, if a boolean value is not set I want to go to the DialogPreference which sets that.How should I do this? It's ok to add that DialogPreference to the manifest?

I am currently trying to implement a PreferenceActivity for my application that uses custom default values for its preferences instead of the defaults declared in the corresponding preference XML as the defaults are supposed to change dynamically based on certain conditions.However, when I modify the defaults via the Android API after loading the preferences through addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences); it already seems to be too late and the individual defaults set via Preference.setDefaultValue do not seem to be taken into consideration when rendering the UI.As I would like to avoid re-inventing the wheel I hope there is some possibility to achieve this using the standard Android preference API. Is there any way to trigger a re-evaluation of the values (and default values) associated with a PreferenceScreen hierarchy? I did not yet try whether creating the PreferenceScreen via APIs instead of loading from XML would help, so that could be an option.

My PreferenceActivity contains a nested PreferenceScreen in another PreferenceScreen and I'm applying a theme to my PrefenceActivity that changes the background color. However when I open the nested PreferenceScreen I get a black background and I cannot see the options.This happens with android 2.1 , but it does not happen with android 1.6.Any ideas on how this can be corrected?

I use custom xml attributes for preferences. The preferences are inflated from xml.I managed to create and read custom xml attributes for EditTextPreference, ListPreference and CheckBoxPreference by creating custom classes which inherit from the respective preference class.My problem is that I can't do this for the PreferenceScreen class, as it is a final class. So my question is: Is there any way I can read the custom attributes of a PreferenceScreen?

I work with Eclipse and implement some applications using the Android Emulator.
I'd like to know: Is it possible to extend Android APIs with other .jar file?
If it's possible, how can I extend the APIs?
I just have to add libraries to the project or do I copy it to the $ANDROID_HOME/platforms/android-8/tools/lib

I have a PreferenceScreen that is defined in XML that serves all the preferences for my application. This PreferenceScreen also has a child PreferenceScreen nested within it. My implementing class is called PreferencesActivity. I know I can open the main Preferences window via startActivity(new Intent(this, PreferencesActivity.class)); but how do I go about opening the child PreferenceScreen via an Intent?

Using PreferenceScreen in xml format we can launch activity by specifying Intent as shown in sample application.This will launch Browser activity which is registered to handle http protocol. But this is not working. Getting exception of ActivityNotFound.

I would like to have a checkbox preference that takes the user to a new (sub)preference screen if the user presses on the actual text (and not on the checkbox to the right).Just as the control under Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Network Settings -> Access Point Names.

I'm currently writing a live wallpaper for Android and it has a PreferenceScreen which currently contains only one preference - a DialogPreference to set various properties of animation.I'm looking for a way to skip showing that preferences list with only one item and to show that dialog right away.But it seems that PreferenceActivity requests itself to have PreferenceScreen as a root element of preference hierarchy. So is it even possible to do what i want?

I have a PreferenceActivity defined in the manifest with android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog. The theme works well with the first settings screen, but not with the child PreferenceScreen elements (if I have several screens in my preferences). The child screens have the default Theme applied in this case.If the theme is changed to Theme.Light or the default, it works well for all the screens(parent and children included)Is there a way to apply the theme to the children, or is this a BUG ?

I've got a probleme with an exception, but I don't know why I get this exception.
The project is about implementing an AbstractAccountAuthenticator with an AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter to sync certain data on a server with a content provider.
I made everything and both adding accounts and syncing is running without any problems.
Now I've tried to add a Preference-Screen just like suggested in the android reference (search for AbstractAccountAuthenticator, it is explained there) via xml like this:
autenticator.xml:
CODE:..........
The Preference-Screen-xml looks like this:
CODE:.....................
The screen is promted how it should be, but and that is the problem: When I click on the PreferenceScreen with the intent it leads to a crash of the system (both in the emulator and my HTC-Desire).
Logcat says:
CODE:..............
Here the part of the manifest, where the activity is defined:
CODE:.......
The whole test-code (it is my project on the essentials to find the problem) is to find at googlecode (http://code.google.com/p/ cleanproject/source/browse/) (Eclipse-Project)
