Yeah, I hear you. Yet another possibility is to use your own layout for the PreferenceActivity. On 1.x and 2.x, PreferenceActivity is just a ListActivity with a chocolate coating, so you can use your own layout if you want, following the ListActivity rules. Hence, if you want a Reset option without hiding it in the options menu, yet not as a Preference, use a custom layout and a Button. On 3.x, you may be able to use an actual options menu -- presumably, it'll show up in the action bar like any other options menu, meaning you could add it as a toolbar button if you wanted. BTW, nice to see that doing this via a regular Preference is not that hard -- I've only ever fussed with DialogPreference. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
