android-preferences

I'm currently trying to make a settings menu, that will show a MultiSelectListPreference , to select multiple contacts from your contact list. At this moment, I'm receiving an NullPointerException , when i try to MultiSelectListPreference#setEntryValue(CharSequence[]) If I put the setEntries first, that one throws the same exception. I've put a breakpoint, to see step by step what happens. The variables are filled because they store Strings , they can contain a String "null", so I guess that it doesn't fail if there is no Display_Name available or so. I based the findPreference on the example

I have a PreferenceActivity with several fragments: R.xml.preferences: (shortened for better readability): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <preference-headers xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <header android:fragment="fragments.Fragment1" android:id="@+id/fragment1" [...] /> <header android:fragment="fragments.Fragment2" android:id="@+id/fragment2" [...] /> [...] </preference-headers> SettingsActivity : public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity { @Override public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target) { loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml

I want to launch System's Location Settings from an Intent . I know that programmatically it goes like this Intent viewIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS); startActivity(viewIntent); but I need to do it from the XML of a Preference . I try like this <Preference android:title="@string/pref_title" > <intent android:action="android.settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS" /> </Preference> but it does not work, I always get an ActivityNotFoundException . How can I launch that System Location Settings from an XML Intent? Emil Adz You can create a:

My PreferenceActivity looks like: import android.os.Build; import android.os.Bundle; import android.preference.PreferenceActivity; import android.preference.PreferenceFragment; import android.widget.TextView; public class Settings extends PreferenceActivity { @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //setContentView(R.layout.about); Typeface timesFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/times.ttf"); TextView about_txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.about_txt); about_txt.setTypeface(timesFont);

I have a couple of custom DialogPreference implementations floating around, such as this one : package apt.tutorial; import android.content.Context; import android.content.res.TypedArray; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Parcel; import android.os.Parcelable; import android.preference.DialogPreference; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.view.ViewParent; import android.widget.TimePicker; public class TimePreference extends DialogPreference { private int lastHour=0; private int lastMinute=0; private TimePicker

The textColor attribute isn't working. Here's my XML: <PreferenceCategory android:title="Title" android:textColor="#00FF00"> Any ideas? use this customize PreferenceCategory class : public class MyPreferenceCategory extends PreferenceCategory { public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context) { super(context); } public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); } @Override protected void onBindView(View view) { super.onBindView(view); TextView

I want to support at least api 10, I want to be able to style my preferences nicely, I want to be able to have headers (or to show PreferenceScreen s). It seems that PreferenceActivity , not fully supported by AppCompat 's coloring, will not fit. So I'm trying to use AppCompatActivity and PreferenceFragmentCompat . public class Prefs extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); if (savedInstanceState == null) getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction() .replace(android.R.id.content, new PreferencesFragment())

I have a preference activity that has a language as ListPreference which displays the available language list. I can fill the list when onCreate is called, but I want to fill the list when the user clicks on it. this is the java code : public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements OnPreferenceClickListener { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); try { addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings); } catch (Exception e) { } } @Override public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) { if((preference instanceof
