Re: [android-developers] Re: How do you create a custom Preference which needs to invoke a activity for result like RingtonePreference?
Pino, You can always implement your own subclass of Preference. The same thing can be done differently inside Android and in regular applications, that's Ok. Subclassing Preference is actually quite nice, since the base class handles the drawing of title and subtitle strings, so your own preference will automatically have the right look. Override onClick() and do whatever it is you want to do. -- Kostya 13.08.2010 8:19, Pino Silvaggio пишет: Yes PreferenceActivity is an Activity. But that not my problem.

From PreferenceActivity you can get the list of all preferences defined in your Preferences, set click listeners for any of them, and call startActivityForResult() from the PreferenceActivity to do whatever you need. What's the problem with this? The issue is how do I create a custom preference like RingtonePreference Extend Preference, just like it does? if what I need is in PreferenceManager and is hidden by package level? I don't see what you *need* this. example: registerOnActivityResultListener which is needed if I want to call preferenceManager.getActivity().startActivityForResult() which getActivity() is also hidden. This makes no sense. What makes no sense is why you feel you need to go through the PreferenceManager functions when these two facilities are available to you in PreferenceActivity. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: How do you create a custom Preference which needs to invoke a activity for result like RingtonePreference?
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.

Ah, well, this makes it clear now what you're trying to do - this was not clear to me before, sorry. Maybe have your CustomPreference store a reference to Activity which you set in the PreferenceActivity onCreate? Not completely self-contained, but you need access to the parent Activity *somewhere*. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Yes PreferenceActivity is an Activity. But that not my problem. The issue is how do I create a custom preference like RingtonePreference if what I need is in PreferenceManager and is hidden by package level? example: registerOnActivityResultListener which is needed if I want to call preferenceManager.getActivity().startActivityForResult() which getActivity() is also hidden.
