preferenceactivity

Handling onTouchEvent on a view is straightforward as every view has the setOnTouchListener() method to do just that. Alas, although ListPreference is a view, it isn't defined in a layout XML, and thus can't be accessed via findViewById(). So... I don't seem to figure out how to setOnTouchListener() for it. My idea was to get a reference to it in PreferenceActivity's onCreate(), then getDialog(). getCurrentFocus() but at that particular moment in time, it has no focus and not even a dialog (getDialog() returns null, confirmed). Any idea how to work around this? Use

I have a custom class that extends Preference that I'm using in conjunction with a PreferenceActivity. When I try to adjust the height in the layout my Preference is using (with a static layout_height or with wrap_content) it is always displayed in a uniform height cell in the Preference Activity - the same size that all of the "normal" preferences default to. Is there a way present a given preference with a different layout_height. I've looked at the API demos related to preferences and I'm not seeing anything that matches what I'm trying to do. theJosh You can override getView(View,

I'm implementing n-layer PreferenceActivities 1st layer PreferenceActivity is loaded from preference-headers. First header creates fragment of settings which is a PreferenceFragment. Second is a browser activity (2nd is an example from developer.android.com) which opens specified Url. The third one I want to be a next level of PreferenceAtivity that also will be loaded from preference-headers. First two work fine but 3rd is crashing an app with the exception: "android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=com.mycompany.myapp

Hello I need to know how to listen for the following with the GPS in Android so I can update the UI in a PreferenceActivity . I have tried GpsStatus.Listener with nothing happening. GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STARTED GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STOPPED Any suggestions would be great. mLocationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); // Define a listener that responds to location updates mGPSStatusListener = new GpsStatus.Listener() { public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event) { switch (event) { case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS: satelliteStatus = mLocationManager

In my app, some settings can possibly be changed while the PreferenceActivity is not open, and an issue I'm running into is that addPreferencesFromResource is called in onCreate , so say, I open the PreferenceActivity , then go to another screen from there, then do something that changes the settings, then hit the back key to go back to the PreferenceActivity , then certain settings have not changed on the layout. So, how could I re-load all the Preferences every time onResume (or onStart() ) is called without duplicating the layout? edit: This solution will work for API 11 + only. Im not sure

I have an activity that extends PreferenceActivity. My theme : android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" is applied to the application level in the Manifest file. Everything is getting the desired theme except the "PreferenceScreen" elements of "PreferenceCategory". They are still having the default black background. In simple words, the main Preference Category screen which has the parent Preference Screens are getting the theme but if I click on any of the PreferenceScreens to go to their element preferences(EditText etc etc), they are not getting the theme...
