Dynamic ListPreference in android

Question

How to generate dynamic listPreference in android? I want to get all wifi access points and make a list using in preference Activity(i.e. make a list using listpreference).

Answer 1

This minimalist technique is for both environments.

In preferences.xml

In PreferenceFragment.onCreate()

addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
expand_xyzzy((ListPreference)findPreference("xyzzy"));

Elsewhere

public static Preference expand_xyzzy (ListPreference pref) {
    if (pref == null) return pref;
    pref.setEntries(new String["one","two","three];
    pref.setEntryValues(new String["0","1","2"]);
    return pref;
}

(b) Starting your PreferenceFragment by NOT using PreferenceActivity easily lets you do this:
