In my main activity, I'm checking to see if a student has stored their id in shared preferences
In onResume, I check if the string is empty, and if it is, I launch a dialog
private void showNoStudentIdDialog() {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_no_id, null);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setView(view).setTitle(getString(R.string.no_id_dialog_title));
builder.setCancelable(false);
builder.setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.ok), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
openSettingsDetail();
}
});
builder.create().show();
}
openSettingDetail
public boolean openSettingsDetail() {
Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(this, SettingsActivity.class);
startActivity(settingsIntent);
return true;
}
The intent correctly launches my SettingsActivty and loads the correct preferences. However, I still have to manually touch the ID preference to launch the dialog for it. Can I achieve this touch / click programatically from the MainActivity when I launch the intent?

Yes, I know, but I'm really confused what you are asking. If you want to show the dialog, just call the method to show it wherever and under whatever condition you want ...

I have done a basic Settings Activity. What I want, is when user selects a option from a list (in Settings), this will save the value, and a "flag".
With this flag I want to use it in the Main Activity, to force an api call.
The problem is that the values in Shared Preferences are not "working" properly...
Here is how I set up the settings activity:
public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatPreferenceActivity {
private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {
String stringValue = value.toString();
if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
// For list preferences, look up the correct display value in
// the preference's 'entries' list.
ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
int index = listPreference.findIndexOfValue(stringValue);
// Set the summary to reflect the new value.
preference.setSummary(
index >= 0
? listPreference.getEntries()[index]
: null);
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(preference.getContext())
.edit()
.putBoolean("reload_data", true).commit();
} else {
// For all other preferences, set the summary to the value's
// simple string representation.
preference.setSummary(stringValue);
}
return true;
}
};
private static boolean isXLargeTablet(Context context) {
return (context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout
& Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) >= Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE;
}
private static void bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(Preference preference) {
// Set the listener to watch for value changes.
preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener);
// Trigger the listener immediately with the preference's
// current value.
sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(preference,
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(preference.getContext())
.getString(preference.getKey(), ""));
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setupActionBar();
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general);
}
/**
* Set up the {#link android.app.ActionBar}, if the API is available.
*/
private void setupActionBar() {
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if (actionBar != null) {
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
if (!super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item)) {
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
}
return true;
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
public boolean onIsMultiPane() {
return isXLargeTablet(this);
}
/**
* This method stops fragment injection in malicious applications.
* Make sure to deny any unknown fragments here.
*/
protected boolean isValidFragment(String fragmentName) {
return SettingsFragment.class.getName().equals(fragmentName);
}
public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference(getString(R.string.languages_preferences_title)));
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), SettingsActivity.class));
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
}
Notice that I put the shared preference to save the flag as:
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(preference.getContext())
.edit()
.putBoolean("reload_data", true).commit();
And here is how I'm reading in MainActivity
#Override
protected void onResume() {
boolean reloadData = PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext())
.getBoolean("reload_data", true);
if (reloadData && presenter != null) {
if (this.dailiesMap != null) {
this.dailiesMap.clear();
}
presenter.getDailiesAchievementModels();
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext())
.edit()
.putBoolean("reload_data", false).apply();
}
super.onResume();
}
When user it comes from Settings is suposed to be a true if user selects some option from the list. But this is not working. it comes to false.
First image is before change language(preference option)
Second image is after change language
As you can see , language change but not "my custom" key
Whenever i change the first name or last name in my app general settings,
public static class GeneralPreferenceFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_profile);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
// Bind the summaries of EditText/List/Dialog/Ringtone preferences
// to their values. When their values change, their summaries are
// updated to reflect the new value, per the Android Design
// guidelines.
preferenceScreen = getPreferenceScreen();
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("first_name"));
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("last_name"));
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), SettingsActivity.class));
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue method is called and the new values appear on the screen.
private static void bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(Preference preference) {
// Set the listener to watch for value changes.
preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener);
// Trigger the listener immediately with the preference's
// current value.
sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(preference,
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(preference.getContext())
.getString(preference.getKey(), ""));
}
But i also want to pass those current values to my firebase real time database. How do i do that?
I'm trying to store the values like this
databaseReference.child("users").child("first_name").setValue(//current value from settings)
Here is the full Settings Activity

I have decided to restructure my question. I am trying to create a settings class for my Android app. I found I could automatically generate a basic layout of a settings activity in Android. The only problem I am facing is how to change the background color. I am aware it is made up of fragments and preference screens. however there is no XML file within the layout folder for me to edit the background color of this screen:
Screen 1
The rest of my app is set to retrieve a gradient style background which I have in my #drawable folder. Therefore it is not as simple as just calling a bold color. See below
Drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:angle="90"
android:startColor="#8e9eab"
android:endColor="#eef2f3"
android:type="linear"/>
</shape>
</item>
there is also XML preference screen files. but changing these to suit the background color has no effect.
xml files

View view = findViewById(R.id.layout);
view.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.YOUR_COLOR));
Define a new style in styles.xml:
<style name="PreferencesTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
<item name="android:background">#FFEAEAEA</item>
</style>
Or, if you are using AppCompat:
<style name="PreferencesTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/background</item>
</style>
Then define the theme for your SettingsActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".SettingsActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_settings"
android:theme="#style/PreferencesTheme"/>

I'm looking for the best way nowadays to implement a Preference Screen for API 15+.
I have found other solutions including the Android Documentation for one of them:
PreferenceScreen and Settings guide
But there is no way to implement a custom layout I've found so far.
Custom layout is lost
my code so far:

EDIT So, what I want to achieve is a screen more or less like this:
A good example would be WhatsApp Settings where you have your picture with "preference headers"
I'm working in a project in Android Studio with min SDK set by 10. I just added a Settings Activity from Gallery and it works well in a phone with API 17, but not in other phone with API 10.
What I think strange is the Settings Activity is available from Gallery, it is supposed to be compatible with API 10 that I'm working, and other activities templates like FullScreen Activity is not available and shows a message "Selected activity template has a minimum of SDK level of 11"
Here is the code from Settings Activity template:
public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatPreferenceActivity {
/**
* A preference value change listener that updates the preference's summary
* to reflect its new value.
*/
private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {
String stringValue = value.toString();
if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
// For list preferences, look up the correct display value in
// the preference's 'entries' list.
ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
int index = listPreference.findIndexOfValue(stringValue);
// Set the summary to reflect the new value.
preference.setSummary(
index >= 0
? listPreference.getEntries()[index]
: null);
} else if (preference instanceof RingtonePreference) {
// For ringtone preferences, look up the correct display value
// using RingtoneManager.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(stringValue)) {
// Empty values correspond to 'silent' (no ringtone).
preference.setSummary(R.string.pref_ringtone_silent);
} else {
Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(
preference.getContext(), Uri.parse(stringValue));
if (ringtone == null) {
// Clear the summary if there was a lookup error.
preference.setSummary(null);
} else {
// Set the summary to reflect the new ringtone display
// name.
String name = ringtone.getTitle(preference.getContext());
preference.setSummary(name);
}
}
} else {
// For all other preferences, set the summary to the value's
// simple string representation.
preference.setSummary(stringValue);
}
return true;

The class SettingsActivity inherits from AppCompatPreferenceActivity which extends from PreferenceActivity. According to this reference PreferenceActivity, it should work for API 10.
So what's wrong from the template class that is not working in my old phone?
Should I use this template to make my SettingsActivity or just create my own from scratch?
Thanks!
