preferences

I want to show the value of preferences in a custom preference screen. For this I need to get the values, in this case strings, within the preference fragment. In non fragments (activities) I get the values with e.g. final SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); and get the string with String phonenumber = prefs.getString("preference_name", null); but in the preference fragment getDefaultSharedPreferences is not applicable for preference fragment. Any idea how to solve this? Here's my code snippet: public class PreferencesFragment extends

I have one main activity and one preferenceActivity. On my first activity I call menu and go on preferenceActivity by calling startActivityForResult. case R.id.settings: startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, SettingsActivity.class), LAUNCH_SETTINGS); return true; Then I change my settings and want to return on main activity and see main activity with new settings applyed. In onPause() method do following (as I right understand this method will be called when I press back button, right?) @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); setResult(RESULT_OK, new Intent(this, MainActivity

I'm trying to add the Preferences menu to my Java Swing application and it's proving a bit of a nause. I have read many posts and articles on this and it sounds easy but...

I'm working on a program in Python for Windows, and would like to save variables and user preferences so that I can recall them even after the program has been terminated and restarted. Is there an ideal way to do this on Windows machines? Would _winreg and the Windows registry be suited for this task? Or do I need to create some sort of database of my own? You're usually going to want to store it in a configuration folder in the "home" folder. That's easy on *nix systems, more difficult in windows, because you actually need to get the "application data" directory. This usually works for me:

I have a Preferences Activity in my code. I want to show a toast when ever user change radio button in a ListPreferences. I used this code but it does not work. :( public class PrefsActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.prefs); } public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences arg0, String key) { ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) findPreference(key); listPreference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new

I'm trying to combine a static "hard coded" string with one referenced from strings.xml for string array items. The goal is to have a dynamic metrics list where the number is the same for all languages, but the metrics text value may change by language, something like this: <string-array name="interval_labels"> <item>30 @string/second</item> <item>1 @string/minute</item> <item>5 @string/minute</item> <item>10 @string/minute</item> <item>15 @string/minute</item> <item>30 @string/minute</item> <item>60 @string/minute</item> </string-array> Right now, if I remove the numbers before the @string/..
