Is there XML attribute that does the exact opposite of android:dependency?
What I would like the dependent preference to be enabled when the other is N
Dmytro Zarezenko asked what if you wanted some dependencies to be enabled when the preference on which they depend is true and some to be enabled when that preference is false.
Use the method described above to set the all the dependant preferences of one type (which ever have the greater number). Then (with the class having implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener) have code like this in the Preference Activity and/or Preference Fragment:
@Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
sharedPreferences.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
sharedPreferences.unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key)
{
if (key.equals("pref_that_they_depend-upon")
{
// Iterate over the preferences that need to be enabled or disabled,
// lets say there is just one called the_awkward_one.
Preference preference = findPreference("the_awkward_one");
// Or preference.setEnabled(! sharedPreferences.getBoolean(("pref_that_they_depend-upon", defaultValue));
preference.setEnabled(sharedPreferences.getBoolean(("pref_that_they_depend-upon", defaultValue));
}
}
