Is there any way to put extras to Intent from preferences?

Question

Hi i\'m launching activity from preferences screen. Activity is shared among three preferences. I wonder if i can set extras for this activity in xml

Answer 1

Add the preference to the preference.xml file:

And then you can use a setOnPreferenceClickListener to launch an Intent with extras.

Preference userButton = (Preference) findPreference("user");
userButton.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference arg0) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), YourTargetActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra(EXTRA, mUser);
        startActivity(intent);
        return true;
    }
});
