This is so simple. If I use a PreferenceActivity to handle my CustomPreference onclick() or any other state of a Preference added to it then the CustomPreference is worthless and is tied to a specific activity.
It's like RingtonePreference basically doesn't do anything and you have to explicitly write code in PreferenceActivity to make it work. Just look at the android sources you'll understand what I mean. RingtonePreference handles the activity call to pick a ringtone and save it's state. I want to create a CustomPreference that is self-contained like any other android preferences.
