Hmm, I have an app that similarly uses a PreferenceActivity and build
target 1.6, but it runs fine on the 1.5 emulator. I wonder what we are
doing different.
Is your activity just the basic form like this?
public class Preferences extends PreferenceActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
}
}
Are you calling Preference#setLayoutResource in any way? Seems like
that could change the XML file being used. I think I found the default
one in the Android source, but don't see the missing attribute in it.
