android-preferences

I have this RingtonePreference (from Android Studio's default SettingsActivity): pref_notification.xml: <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <RingtonePreference android:dependency="notifications_alarm" android:key="notifications_alarm_ringtone" android:title="@string/pref_title_ringtone" android:ringtoneType="notification|all" android:defaultValue="content://settings/system/notification_sound" /> SettingsActivity.java: private void setupSimplePreferencesScreen() { if (!isSimplePreferences(this)) { return; } // Add 'general' preferences.

I know that I can do something like this: Preference pref = findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_vibrate_on_key)); pref.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() { @Override public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) { LogUtil.d("Working!"); return true; } }); But I would like to add a Listener to every preference. I tried doing: SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); sp.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(new OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() { @Override public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(

I can't figure out how I would go about implementing an up button in a PreferenceScreen . An up button displays a caret in your action bar next to your app icon that allows you to navigate the app's hierarchy, more info here . I have a Preference Fragment that displays when my main activity is opened and I can get the up button to display by adding this line " getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);": protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); getFragmentManager().beginTransaction() .replace

In this picture, the title of my Preference does not wrap around its parent. How can I make the title wrap to a new line? Thanks. xml: <CheckBoxPreference android:key="keypref" android:summary="Summary text does wrap around the borders" android:title="The title of this preference is" > </CheckBoxPreference> Ewoks You would need to make custom layout which resembles default (android internal) CheckBoxPreference. In that xml text view of title should be with ellipsize set to Marque, repeat limit indefinite and scrollable set to horizontal. Than you can set layout of CheckBoxPreference with:

I want to get value of a checkboxpreference. which method is suitable for listen to preference? And what's real difference between OnPreferenceChangeListener and OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener ?! UPDATE Why onSharedPreferenceChanged not called? public class Setting extends PreferenceActivity implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener // ,OnPreferenceChangeListener { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);// deprecated warning } @Override public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(

I have a preference android:layout gft. I've set the layout in the android:layout property of the preference in the xml file. Now I need to do an initialization of a button in the layout (it's a +1 button). I need to get that button in the onCreate method (it's a +1 button) but when I use findViewById(button_id) , it returns null. Is there some way to get the view of this preference? UPDATE: It seems like the preference isn't created after I add the preference xml, so I get null. Where I can call findViewById so the button is already created? Thanks. Preferences xml: <Preference android:title=

Is it possible to define a ListPreference in Xml and retrieve the value from SharedPreferences using getInt?
