I am testing my application on a Nexus One and i have some problems. My theme is Light and when an inner sub PreferenceScreen is displayed, the window background becomes black instead of keeping the PreferenceActivity's one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using a PreferenceActivity with a PreferenceScreen defined in a xml file. i want to make sure that the data set on a preference editor are valid (integer , integer in a range....)
So , i want to be able to intercept a click on a button of the EditTextPreference , check the validity of the data and if the data is incorect , display a message to the user and come back on the EditTextPreference.
What would be the best way to achieve that?
I have a ListView that has some minor visual preferences that are set in a PreferenceScreen. These preferences are simple booleans to show or not to show some specific TextViews on each item in my ListView.
Anyhow, when these preferences are changed, I need to notify my ArrayAdapter that the data has changed in order to get the list redrawn. However, doing this via an OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener wouldn't really be optimal because there are several preferences that you can change, that would cause an unnecessary amount of updates to the ArrayAdapter.
So, to the question: How can I identify when my ListActivity has occurred on the screen after closing my PreferenceActivity, which I then could use to check for changes in the preferences, and only then notify the ArrayAdapter.
The ArrayAdapter being an inner class of my ListActivity, which is set as a ListAdapter.
Jeff Sharkey in this post (http://goo.gl/G3wt) shows how to create save application preferences in database by hack on PreferenceActivity.
It said i can use a ContentProvider, too.
Can you give me an example on how to save preferences from PreferenceActivity to ContentProvider?
I have a PreferenceActivity building screen hierarchy from code, and I need to force display hierarchy change dynamically when one of SharedPreference value changed. I know this might be a kind of easy question, but I couldn't find answer anywhere in documentations or discussion.
My PreferenceActivity is forming like this. code...
I am having a problem with an application I am in the middle of writing which is causing me some serious headaches.
The situation is this:
The application allows the user to configure several different kinds of information in several activities.
One of the activities, which is a subclass of Activity, takes data from the user and stores it in a shared preferences instance that I create manually and edit in code. This activity requires a complex screen layout that I do not believe would work well with a PreferenceActivity, hence me rolling my own in this case.
Another one of the activities, which is a subclass of PreferenceActivity, is a straight forward list of preferences, each with a list options - standard stuff.
I am finding that any data that I store from the first activity, my bespoke preference screen which manually adds the data using a StoredPreferences.Editor instance is overwritten once the user selects an option in my activity that extends PreferenceActivity.
Currently, I'm using the following code across all of my activities in my app to store application level variables and carry values between activities..
prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("MyPrefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
I didn't have a PreferenceActivity prior to this, but now I do and I am looking to store a few user prefs from this new PreferenceActivity in the same sharedPreferences tag, "MyPrefs".
I know I can access the PreferenceActivity SharedPrefs from my activities via
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
but I would like those values saved to my current sharedPreferences tag, "MyPrefs", but I'm not sure how to do this.
I have a PreferenceActivity with a bunch of (Sub)PreferenceScreens. Each such (Sub)PreferenceScreen represents an account and has the account-username as its title.
CODE:................
As the user enters sub-PreferenceScreen, and edits the account user-name, I want the outer PreferenceScreen to update it's PreferenceScreen-title for the account in question.
I've tried to add...
CODE:.............
But the accScreen.setTitle does not seem to take effect on the outer PreferenceScreen. I've note that calling onContentChanged(); actually makes it work, but I realize that this is probably not the preferred way of doing it.
I suspect I should call postInvalidate() on some view somewhere, but I really can't figure out on what view and when to do it.

is there a way to change the main activity background using preferences?I search everywhere and tried everything i could imagine but nothing works.
I want to enter in my preferenceActivity, choose "change background", open the phone's gallery, select a image/photo and set it as the "wallpaper" of my application.
I know I'm not the only person that gets emails with embedded html or inlined images via google mail. When I get emails like this, I have to click on "Show HTML" or "Show Picture" every single time an email comes in if I actually want to see the email the way it was intended to be shown. I know for a fact that iphones and other email readers dont have any issues with this. Is there a setting to automatically display the email the way it was meant to be shown instead of having to click these buttons each time I want to view the email correctly? Or, perhaps there's already a market app that forces the android email client to display emails correctly?
