On the Android design guideline there's this line:
which is the same as how the WiFi setting work in the Settings app.
I can implement this with a regular preference and a custom second screen, but i suppose there is a easier way?

I want to make a section in my app to allow the user to specify a range of time. I'm trying to make the design to something like android timers at the moment, but I'm having trouble. Would I need to make a custom preference for the design, or would I need to use SharedPreferences in a Fragment?

Additional Question:I'm using a Crystal double range seekbar that is visible when I run the app, but it doesn't show when in Android XML design.
I am not getting your usecase here. As far my understand, you need a screen to ask the user to the enter the date range like date from & to. If so, my suggestion would have the different screen to get those values and storre those in a SQLite.
Hi i have a app contain 3 page. and i want to set one page as background like android home screen. I search in google and i found this and this
tutorial's but i couldn't use it for my target can anyone show me another better example thanks.
i mean How can i create app like android home screen which have one picture for 5 pages background (in my phone).
at last i found my answer and that was so simpler that i think.
that was not a live wallpaper that was simple trick using scroolview for background of main layout and listen to onPageScrollStateChanged.
that's it.
I'm currently working on an Android app, and looking at the PreferenceActivity class and the corresponding layout elements (PreferenceScreen, etc.), it appears that it provides much of the functionality that I desire for a major component of the app. However, that component is not a Settings activity per se, and I'm not sure if using Preference stuff for things that aren't technically preferences is a good way to do things. On the other hand, I'd prefer not having to implement all the features that PreferenceActivity/etc. provides, so would it be fine to use that framework and just change the layout theme so it doesn't seem like a Settings menu?
You can definitely load/set up the preference layout using the android framework and then save the data using your own implementation of SharedPreferences. This class is a good example. Not sure why you would not make it look like a preference screen though. What's wrong with that look?
I'm trying to get my app to blend in as much as possible with the "standard" with the rest of my android device. It's a stand-alone app, not integrated with the OS or anything, I just want it to look familiar.
The area I'm interested in is the "settings" screen. If I look at Android's standard settings screen, it's well spaced, perfect font size, with neat pin stripes between the menu items.
How do I do that? Is that a ListView? Is it done with a regular LinearLayout?
I would love to be able to replicate the look & feel in my app. Can anybody assist?
And it's not just the Adroid OS. it's most of the "professional" apps out there:
Many thanks
Actually, this is directly part of the Android source code, so I would strongly advise you to take a look in its structure. See the Android Settings tutorial for more info.
Settings are created from the SettingsActivity (which extends the PreferenceActivity, you might want to look this too), which in their turn have their layout based on the following xml files:
preferences.xml
preference.xml
Things are quite strongly interlocked so it needs some reading...
AFAIK its a ListView. by implementing a custom ListView, you can achieve similar effect.
Moreover, you'll have to follow the Icon Design Guidelines to create such icons for ListView rows
Is it possible to get a smaller CheckBox, like the one used in Settings application? I'd like to use it in my own custom Preference class, to mimic Android UI more closely...
Thank you for your time,

There is a slight difference between HTC and vanilla Google Android drawables for CheckBox...
