How can I add application preference in device setting. I want to my preference setting be part of device setting opinion. My application setting can be appeared or displayed in device setting list.
Any API i need to use or keyword?
You are welcome to modify the firmware and distribute it on your own line of mobile devices -- then you can add a setting to the device setting list.
It is not possible to modify the device setting list from an ordinary SDK application, however.
Sorry!
As far as i know, currently there's no options on this as such. But you can maintain your application settings activity within your application itself.
You can use or create new keys to use content Provider values from System Settings so that you can store/access your settings even from other applications.

Hi I'm creating a simple app for change background but I want to put into system settings and hide from menu apps like Kidlogger Pro. I found this answer but it is only available with TTS options?

Settings is its own app; you cannot modify that app.

The Settings app offers a couple of places where it will link to some activity of yours, to offer user configuration of certain features. In general, those are tied to very specific things (e.g., configuring an input method editor) and are not general-purpose solutions.
Android 7.0+ allows you to designate an activity that is linked to from your app's screen in Settings (Apps > (your app name)). This is the closest thing that Android has to what you are seeking.
You cannot invent new categories (e.g., "Apps", "Display", "Security"), and you cannot invent new settings in existing categories. For those things, the user should launch your main activity, and either configure that stuff there, or open up some dedicated settings screen from there.
By default, you can't. You can root your phone in order to change settings application.
I have an android application which works with httppost methods. It's a tablet application and i am using Android Version 4.0.4. I want to chance post url informaion from:
Settings > Applications > MyApp's App Info
menu.
How can i create new settings button on that menu? In the other word i want to make Application Settings like in iOS.
Note: I want to use settings like Dolphin Browser. There is a Manage space option in App Info tap. I want to create or customize like that one.
The Manage space button that you see can't be customized. It's either clear data or Manage space, thats it.
To get the Manage space button instead of clear data use the following attribute in the application tag of your Manifest file:
android:manageSpaceActivity="com.example.yourpackage.YourAnyActivity"
See docs of Settings
If you want to provide settings for your app, you should use Android's Preference APIs to build an interface that's consistent with the user experience in other Android apps (including the system settings).
A few of the most common preferences are:
CheckBoxPreference
ListPreference
EditTextPreference
I need to write a code to create an app/widget that will "Clear Defaults" for an app. Instead of going to "Settings->Applications->[The App]->Clear Defaults", the user will click on the app icon (or widget) to clear these default values.
I am new to Android. I just want some help to create and build my first Android app/widget.
Many thanks...
You cannot affect other apps in this fashion. Only the Settings app, or possibly apps written as part of the device firmware, can change the default apps for particular Intent constructs.
In my application i have done all the process and they are working very well. Now my device needs only one application or other application must not come front to the user's view..
Can I make my Application as Default application or the only application viewable by the user?
To avoid the unnecessary usage of other applications or to keep time consumption I plan to try this.
Would I need to change anything in the Manifest.xml file of this solution solve this?
You cannot do this on a stock device. Your best bet is to create a launcher that only allows launching your app. The user needs to agree to run it however, and it can always be changed and/or disabled in Settings.
I have an application that I have made searchable, and I want to include it in the Google Search bar by default, or give my users the option of enabling it from within my application. I have already exposed it by adding android:includeInGlobalSearch into my searchable.xml, but how would I enable it from my settings within the application?
I know I can also launch the Settings.ACTION_SEARCH_SETTINGS activity and have them select it, but how would I shift the focus/scroll to my application if it is below the initial fold?
AFAIK, you can't. The user has to enable it, you can't force them to. You can' control the focus scroll either, best you could do is experiment with different names and see how this affects sorting.
