Show up-Button in actionBar in subscreen preferences

Question

I\'ve implemented my preferences like shown in the official guidelines.

I have a PreferenceActivity which creates the PreferenceFragment like this:

I finally got it to work :D. It's quite hacky but it works.

The problem is, that using subscreens in xml-layouts results in some 'code magic'. A new activity/dialog is started for the subscreen and you don't have direct access to it.

To get access to the actionbar and the OnClickListener of the home/up-button you need to get a reference to your PreferenceScreen and get its parent Dialog in order to access the actionbar and its home/up button.

This is how it is done inside my PreferenceFragment:

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
 {
...

 final PreferenceScreen preferenceScreen = (PreferenceScreen) findPreference(getString(R.string.keyPrefScreenDynamicWidgetDetails));
  preferenceScreen.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() 
  {
       public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) 
       {
           preferenceScreen.getDialog().getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
           final Dialog dialog = preferenceScreen.getDialog();

           View homeBtn = dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.home);
           if (homeBtn != null) 
           {
               OnClickListener dismissDialogClickListener = new OnClickListener()
               {
                   @Override
                   public void onClick(View v) 
                   {
                      dialog.dismiss();
                   }
               };

               // Prepare yourselves for some hacky programming
               ViewParent homeBtnContainer = homeBtn.getParent();

               // The home button is an ImageView inside a FrameLayout
               if (homeBtnContainer instanceof FrameLayout) {
                   ViewGroup containerParent = (ViewGroup) homeBtnContainer.getParent();

                   if (containerParent instanceof LinearLayout) {
                       // This view also contains the title text, set the whole view as clickable
                       ((LinearLayout) containerParent).setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
                   } else {
                       // Just set it on the home button
                       ((FrameLayout) homeBtnContainer).setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
                   }
               } else {
                   // The 'If all else fails' default case
                   homeBtn.setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
               }                   
           }
           return true;
       }
  });
...

}
