isValidFragment Android API 19

Question

When I try my app with Android KitKat I have an error in PreferenceActivity.

Subclasses of PreferenceActivity must override isValidFragment(String) to ve

Answer 1

this is my solution:

• if u need dynamic rebuild headers

• if u use extras to start preference activity - onBuildHeaders() approach will fail! (with below start intent extras - why ??? - simple because onBuildHeaders() is never called):

  Intent.putExtra(PreferenceActivity.EXTRA_SHOW_FRAGMEN,Fragment.class.getName()); Intent.putExtra(PreferenceActivity.EXTRA_NO_HEADERS, true);

This is example class:

/**
 * Preference Header for showing settings and add view as two panels for tablets
 * for ActionBar we need override onCreate and setContentView
 */
public class SettingsPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity {

    /** valid fragment list declaration */
    private List validFragmentList;

    /** some example irrelevant class for holding user session  */
    SessionManager _sessionManager;

    @Override
    public void onBuildHeaders(List
 target) {
        /** load header from res */
        loadHeadersFromResource(getValidResId(), target);
    }

    /**
     * this API method was added due to a newly discovered vulnerability.
     */
    @Override
    protected boolean isValidFragment(String fragmentName) {
        List
 headers = new ArrayList<>();
        /** fill fragments list */
        tryObtainValidFragmentList(getValidResId(), headers);
        /** check  id valid */
        return validFragmentList.contains(fragmentName);
    }

    /** try fill list of valid fragments */
    private void tryObtainValidFragmentList(int resourceId, List
 target) {  
        /** check for null */
        if(validFragmentList==null) {
            /** init */
            validFragmentList = new ArrayList();
        } else {
            /** clear */
            validFragmentList.clear();
        }
        /** load headers to list */
        loadHeadersFromResource(resourceId, target);
        /** set headers class names to list */
        for (Header header : target) {
            /** fill */
            validFragmentList.add(header.fragment);
        }
    }

    /** obtain valid res id to build headers */
    private int getValidResId() {
        /** get session manager */
        _sessionManager = SessionManager.getInstance();
        /** check if user is authorized */
        if (_sessionManager.getCurrentUser().getWebPart().isAuthorized()) {
            /** if is return full preferences header */
            return R.xml.settings_preferences_header_logged_in;
        } else {
            /** else return short header */
            return R.xml.settings_preferences_header_logged_out;
        }
    }
}
