Represents the basic Preference UI building
block displayed by a PreferenceActivity
in the form of a
ListView
. This class provides the View
to be displayed in
the activity and associates with a SharedPreferences
to
store/retrieve the preference data.
When specifying a preference hierarchy in XML, each element can point to a
subclass of Preference
, similar to the view hierarchy and layouts.
This class contains a key
that will be used as the key into the
SharedPreferences
. It is up to the subclass to decide how to store
the value.
For information about building a settings UI with Preferences, read the Settings guide.

Perform inflation from XML and apply a class-specific base style. This
constructor of Preference allows subclasses to use their own base style
when they are inflating. For example, a CheckBoxPreference
constructor calls this version of the super class constructor and
supplies android.R.attr.checkBoxPreferenceStyle
for
defStyleAttr. This allows the theme's checkbox preference
style to modify all of the base preference attributes as well as the
CheckBoxPreference
class's attributes.
context | The Context this is associated with, through which it can
access the current theme, resources,
SharedPreferences , etc. |
---|---|
attrs | The attributes of the XML tag that is inflating the preference. |
defStyleAttr | An attribute in the current theme that contains a reference to a style resource that supplies default values for the view. Can be 0 to not look for defaults. |
defStyleRes | A resource identifier of a style resource that supplies default values for the view, used only if defStyleAttr is 0 or can not be found in the theme. Can be 0 to not look for defaults. |

Constructor that is called when inflating a Preference from XML. This is called when a Preference is being constructed from an XML file, supplying attributes that were specified in the XML file. This version uses a default style of 0, so the only attribute values applied are those in the Context's Theme and the given AttributeSet.

Returns the Context
of this Preference.

PreferenceActivity
). This Context will be used to save the Preference values.
Returns the key of the dependency on this Preference.
Returns an SharedPreferences.Editor
where this Preference can
save its value(s). Usually it's easier to use one of the helper save
methods: persistBoolean(boolean)
, persistFloat(float)

, persistLong(long)
,
persistString(String)
. To read values, see
getSharedPreferences()
. If shouldCommit()
returns
true, it is this Preference's responsibility to commit.
In some cases, writes to this will not be committed right away and hence not show up in the SharedPreferences, this is intended behavior to improve performance.
SharedPreferences.Editor
where this preference saves
its value(s), or null if it isn't attached to a Preference
hierarchy.Return the extras Bundle object associated with this preference, creating a new Bundle if there currently isn't one. You can use this to get and set individual extra key/value pairs.
Return the fragment class name associated with this Preference.

, getPersistedFloat(float)
,
getPersistedInt(int)
, getPersistedLong(long)
,
getPersistedString(String)
. To save values, see
getEditor()
.
In some cases, writes to the getEditor()
will not be committed
right away and hence not show up in the returned
SharedPreferences
, this is intended behavior to improve
performance.

Sets the layout resource that is inflated as the View
to be shown
for this Preference. In most cases, the default layout is sufficient for
custom Preference objects and only the widget layout needs to be changed.
This layout should contain a ViewGroup

within the View created by

.

is inflated into the main layout. For example, a CheckBoxPreference
would specify a custom layout (consisting of just the CheckBox) here,
instead of creating its own main layout.

---|
Returns whether the Preference
should commit its saved value(s) in
getEditor()
. This may return false in situations where batch
committing is being done (by the manager) to improve performance.
Checks whether this preference's dependents should currently be disabled.
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
See Writing a useful
toString
method
if you intend implementing your own toString
method.
Call this method after the user changes the preference, but before the internal state is set. This allows the client to ignore the user value.

even above/below your PreferenceScreen
screen break) with the given
key.
This only functions after we have been attached to a hierarchy.

---|
Should be called when the data of this Preference
has changed.
Should be called when a Preference has been added/removed from this group, or the ordering should be re-evaluated.
Called when the Preference hierarchy has been attached to the
PreferenceActivity

Preference has been attached to a group that was already attached
to the PreferenceActivity
.
Called when this Preference has been attached to a Preference hierarchy. Make sure to call the super implementation.
preferenceManager | The PreferenceManager of the hierarchy. |

Binds the created View to the data for this Preference.
This is a good place to grab references to custom Views in the layout and set properties on them.
Make sure to call through to the superclass's implementation.
view | The View that shows this Preference. |
---|
Processes a click on the preference. This includes saving the value to
the SharedPreferences
. However, the overridden method should
call callChangeListener(Object)
to make sure the client wants to
update the preference's state with the new value.
Creates the View to be shown for this Preference in the
PreferenceActivity
. The default behavior is to inflate the main
layout of this Preference (see setLayoutResource(int)
. If
changing this behavior, please specify a ViewGroup
with ID
widget_frame
.
Make sure to call through to the superclass's implementation.
parent | The parent that this View will eventually be attached to. |
---|
Called when a Preference is being inflated and the default value attribute needs to be read. Since different Preference types have different value types, the subclass should get and return the default value which will be its value type.
For example, if the value type is String, the body of the method would
proxy to getString(int)
.
a | The set of attributes. |
---|---|
index | The index of the default value attribute. |
Called when this Preference is being removed from the hierarchy. You should remove any references to this Preference that you know about. Make sure to call through to the superclass implementation.
Hook allowing a Preference to re-apply a representation of its internal
state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState()
.
This function will never be called with a null state.
state | The saved state that had previously been returned by
onSaveInstanceState() . |
---|
Hook allowing a Preference to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can be reconstructed later.
Implement this to set the initial value of the Preference.
If restorePersistedValue is true, you should restore the
Preference value from the SharedPreferences
. If
restorePersistedValue is false, you should set the Preference
value to defaultValue that is given (and possibly store to SharedPreferences

SharedPreferences

Preference is persistent and it currently has a key. Before you
save/restore from the SharedPreferences
, check this first.
