I have defined my settings.xml file to include an item that uses android:action item in the setting dialog. See the sample code for that activity below.
It all works fine. However this thing is "overlaying" my entire activity and when user presses back button my entire application finishes. Is there a way to launch a "Fragment" using android:action in settings.xml or how I can restructure my activity so when that activity finishes my main activity is resumed? <PreferenceScreen> <Preference android:title="Current User" > <intent android:action="com.example.coreui.ShowCurrentUserActivity" /> </Preference> </PreferenceScreen> here is the activity code public class ShowCurrentUserActivity extends Activity { public AlertDialog dialog = null; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { String msgStr; super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); alert.setPositiveButton("Logout", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { dialog.dismiss(); ShowCurrentUserActivity.this.finish(); } }); alert.setNegativeButton("Dismiss", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { dialog.dismiss(); ShowCurrentUserActivity.this.finish(); } }); } } This is how I specify activity in my AndroidManifest.xml <activity android:name="com.example.coreui.ShowCurrentUserActivity" android:label="CurrentUser" android:exported="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.example.coreui.ShowCurrentUserActivity" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
