preferences

In a OSX Cocoa app, I would like a button that would open the "speech" preference pane. Is that possible? I'm just trying to save them the time to go System Preferences > Speech > Text to Speech The following is a fairly easy (and reliable) way to at least get System Preferences open to the Speech.prefPane: - (IBAction)openSpeechPrefs:(id)sender { [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Speech.prefPane"]]; } However, it won't necessarily be switched to the Text to Speech tab, but rather the last tab the user had selected. It is possible

Is it somehow possible to include one preferences.xml into another, like it can be done for layouts with the <include /> tag? Let's say: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/pref_group_title_visual"> <include preferences_filename="xml/pref_visual"/> </PreferenceScreen> ... Solution here it is to inflate both preference files from PreferencesActivity. For example: addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.options); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.additional_options); The solution

We use the Java preferences in some of our apps and haven't really noticed this since the utility that makes the calls is fairly old and was written in Windows XP days. But it seems the Java preferences are no longer stored in the registry in Windows 7 - or they are stored somewhere different. I'm expecting it to be in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs But I don't see it there. What makes it wierder, is that when I run this app: public static void main( final String[] args ) throws BackingStoreException { Preferences systemRoot = Preferences.systemRoot(); Preferences preferences =

Using NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; , I use calls like BOOL boolFromPrefs = [defaults boolForKey:@"theBoolKey"]; To get a saved BOOL value. If the key is not found, NO is returned (default behaviour of boolForKey). But... NO can be a saved setting. Same thing for intForKey So how can I test if a key exists before trying to get its value ? Matthias Bauch Do it the right way and register default values . NSDictionary *userDefaultsDefaults = @{ @"SomeKey": @NO, @"AnotherKey": @"FooBar", @"NumberKey": @0, }; [NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults registerDefaults

I'd like to develop a plugin (tool bar buttons) for Eclipse CDT where users can easily switch between 8 and 4 spaces tabs and turn on/off soft tabs. (Why bother you asked? Thanks to the coding guideline in my org for tabbing difference between C/C++ legacy and new codes) I managed to create toolbar buttons but I couldn't find information to modify Editor Preferences (The ones you normally find in Workspace preferences General->Editors->Text Editors). The question 4587572 seems to cover a bit but I'm still very new to Plug-in dev so I don't really understand. I guess I want to modify EDITOR_TAB

I have an android app which runs a foreground service and while that service is running I would like to give the user the option to keep the screen on. I added to my settings preferences, a checkbox preference and if true, I would like to keep the screen on but have it set to off by default. It's just something my users have asked for. Currently i have the preference on but when I run the service my screen still shuts of here is what I've done global variable private static final String PREFS_DEVICE = "DeviceInfo"; code and if statement SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS

I'm settings a preference in a checkbox via an account-authenticator: Intent settingsIntent = new Intent("android.settings.ACCOUNT_SYNC_SETTINGS"); settingsIntent.putExtra("account", mActiveAccount); startActivityForResult(settingsIntent, ACCOUNT_COMPLETE); with the xml of: <account-authenticator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:accountType="com.example.auth" android:label="@string/auth_label" android:accountPreferences="@xml/auth_preferences" /> and in auth_preferences.xml I have: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http:/
