This is the base class for an activity to show a hierarchy of preferences
to the user. Prior to HONEYCOMB
this class only allowed the display of a single set of preference; this
functionality should now be found in the new PreferenceFragment
class. If you are using PreferenceActivity in its old mode, the documentation
there applies to the deprecated APIs here.
This activity shows one or more headers of preferences, each of which
is associated with a PreferenceFragment
to display the preferences
of that header. The actual layout and display of these associations can
however vary; currently there are two major approaches it may take:
Subclasses of PreferenceActivity should implement
onBuildHeaders(List
to populate the header list with the desired
items. Doing this implicitly switches the class into its new "headers
+ fragments" mode rather than the old style of just showing a single
preferences list.
For information about using PreferenceActivity
,
read the Settings
guide.
The following sample code shows a simple preference activity that has two different sets of preferences. The implementation, consisting of the activity itself as well as its two preference fragments is:
public class PreferenceWithHeaders extends PreferenceActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Add a button to the header list. if (hasHeaders()) { Button button = new Button(this); button.setText("Some action"); setListFooter(button); } } /** * Populate the activity with the top-level headers. */ @Override public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target) { loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.preference_headers, target); } /** * This fragment shows the preferences for the first header. */ public static class Prefs1Fragment extends PreferenceFragment { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Make sure default values are applied. In a real app, you would // want this in a shared function that is used to retrieve the // SharedPreferences wherever they are needed. PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(getActivity(), R.xml.advanced_preferences, false); // Load the preferences from an XML resource addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.fragmented_preferences); } } /** * This fragment contains a second-level set of preference that you * can get to by tapping an item in the first preferences fragment. */ public static class Prefs1FragmentInner extends PreferenceFragment { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Can retrieve arguments from preference XML. Log.i("args", "Arguments: " + getArguments()); // Load the preferences from an XML resource addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.fragmented_preferences_inner); } } /** * This fragment shows the preferences for the second header. */ public static class Prefs2Fragment extends PreferenceFragment { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Can retrieve arguments from headers XML. Log.i("args", "Arguments: " + getArguments()); // Load the preferences from an XML resource addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference_dependencies); } } }
The preference_headers resource describes the headers to be displayed and the fragments associated with them. It is:
<preference-headers xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <header android:fragment="com.example.android.apis.preference.PreferenceWithHeaders$Prefs1Fragment" android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_applications" android:title="Prefs 1" android:summary="An example of some preferences." /> <header android:fragment="com.example.android.apis.preference.PreferenceWithHeaders$Prefs2Fragment" android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_display" android:title="Prefs 2" android:summary="Some other preferences you can see."> <!-- Arbitrary key/value pairs can be included with a header as arguments to its fragment. --> <extra android:name="someKey" android:value="someHeaderValue" /> </header> <header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_display" android:title="Intent" android:summary="Launches an Intent."> <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW" android:data="http://www.android.com" /> </header> </preference-headers>
The first header is shown by Prefs1Fragment, which populates itself from the following XML resource:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/inline_preferences"> <CheckBoxPreference android:key="checkbox_preference" android:title="@string/title_checkbox_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_checkbox_preference" /> </PreferenceCategory> <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/dialog_based_preferences"> <EditTextPreference android:key="edittext_preference" android:title="@string/title_edittext_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_edittext_preference" android:dialogTitle="@string/dialog_title_edittext_preference" /> <ListPreference android:key="list_preference" android:title="@string/title_list_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_list_preference" android:entries="@array/entries_list_preference" android:entryValues="@array/entryvalues_list_preference" android:dialogTitle="@string/dialog_title_list_preference" /> </PreferenceCategory> <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/launch_preferences"> <!-- This PreferenceScreen tag sends the user to a new fragment of preferences. If running in a large screen, they can be embedded inside of the overall preferences UI. --> <PreferenceScreen android:fragment="com.example.android.apis.preference.PreferenceWithHeaders$Prefs1FragmentInner" android:title="@string/title_fragment_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_fragment_preference"> <!-- Arbitrary key/value pairs can be included for fragment arguments --> <extra android:name="someKey" android:value="somePrefValue" /> </PreferenceScreen> <!-- This PreferenceScreen tag sends the user to a completely different activity, switching out of the current preferences UI. --> <PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/title_intent_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_intent_preference"> <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW" android:data="http://www.android.com" /> </PreferenceScreen> </PreferenceCategory> <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/preference_attributes"> <CheckBoxPreference android:key="parent_checkbox_preference" android:title="@string/title_parent_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_parent_preference" /> <!-- The visual style of a child is defined by this styled theme attribute. --> <CheckBoxPreference android:key="child_checkbox_preference" android:dependency="parent_checkbox_preference" android:layout="?android:attr/preferenceLayoutChild" android:title="@string/title_child_preference" android:summary="@string/summary_child_preference" /> </PreferenceCategory> </PreferenceScreen>
Note that this XML resource contains a preference screen holding another fragment, the Prefs1FragmentInner implemented here. This allows the user to traverse down a hierarchy of preferences; pressing back will pop each fragment off the stack to return to the previous preferences.
See PreferenceFragment
for information on implementing the
fragments themselves.

When starting this activity, the invoking Intent can contain this extra
boolean that the header list should not be displayed. This is most often
used in conjunction with EXTRA_SHOW_FRAGMENT
to launch
the activity to display a specific fragment that the user has navigated
to.
When starting this activity, the invoking Intent can contain this extra string to specify which fragment should be initially displayed.
Starting from Key Lime Pie, when this argument is passed in, the PreferenceActivity will call isValidFragment() to confirm that the fragment class name is valid for this activity.When starting this activity and using EXTRA_SHOW_FRAGMENT
,
this extra can also be specified to supply a Bundle of arguments to pass
to that fragment when it is instantiated during the initial creation
of PreferenceActivity.
When starting this activity and using EXTRA_SHOW_FRAGMENT
,
this extra can also be specify to supply the short title to be shown for
that fragment.
When starting this activity and using EXTRA_SHOW_FRAGMENT
,
this extra can also be specify to supply the title to be shown for

Call when you need to change the headers being displayed. Will result in onBuildHeaders() later being called to retrieve the new list.
Returns true if this activity is showing multiple panes -- the headers and a preference fragment.
Parse the given XML file as a header description, adding each parsed Header into the target list.
resid | The XML resource to load and parse. |
---|---|
target | The list in which the parsed headers should be placed. |
Called when the activity needs its list of headers build. By implementing this and adding at least one item to the list, you will cause the activity to run in its modern fragment mode. Note that this function may not always be called; for example, if the activity has been asked to display a particular fragment without the header list, there is no need to build the headers.
Typical implementations will use loadHeadersFromResource(int, List
to fill in the list from a resource.
target | The list in which to place the headers. |
---|
Called by startWithFragment(String, Bundle, Fragment, int, int, int)
when
in single-pane mode, to build an Intent to launch a new activity showing
the selected fragment. The default implementation constructs an Intent
that re-launches the current activity with the appropriate arguments to
display the fragment.
fragmentName | The name of the fragment to display. |
---|---|
args | Optional arguments to supply to the fragment. |
titleRes | Optional resource ID of title to show for this item. |
shortTitleRes | Optional resource ID of short title to show for this item. |
Updates the screen state (current list and other views) when the content changes.
Called to determine the initial header to be shown. The default implementation simply returns the fragment of the first header. Note that the returned Header object does not actually need to exist in your header list -- whatever its fragment is will simply be used to show for the initial UI.
Called after the header list has been updated (onBuildHeaders(List
has been called and returned due to invalidateHeaders()
) to
specify the header that should now be selected. The default implementation
returns null to keep whatever header is currently selected.
Called when the user selects an item in the header list. The default
implementation will call either
startWithFragment(String, Bundle, Fragment, int, int, int)
or switchToHeader(Header)
as appropriate.
header | The header that was selected. |
---|---|
position | The header's position in the list. |
Called to determine whether the header list should be hidden.
The default implementation returns the
value given in EXTRA_NO_HEADERS
or false if it is not supplied.
This is set to false, for example, when the activity is being re-launched
to show a particular preference activity.
Called to determine if the activity should run in multi-pane mode. The default implementation returns true if the screen is large enough.
Called when the user has clicked on a Preference that has a fragment class name associated with it. The implementation to should instantiate and switch to an instance of the given fragment.
This method was deprecated
in API level 11.
This function is not relevant for a modern fragment-based
PreferenceActivity.
Set a footer that should be shown at the bottom of the header list.
Should be called after onCreate to ensure that the breadcrumbs, if any, were created. This prepends a title to the fragment breadcrumbs and attaches a listener to any clicks on the parent entry.
title | the title for the breadcrumb |

Sets the root of the preference hierarchy that this activity is showing.
preferenceScreen | The root PreferenceScreen of the preference hierarchy. |
---|
Change the base title of the bread crumbs for the current preferences.
This will normally be called for you. See
FragmentBreadCrumbs
for more information.
Start a new fragment.
fragment | The fragment to start |
---|---|
push | If true, the current fragment will be pushed onto the back stack. If false, the current fragment will be replaced. |
Start a new fragment containing a preference panel. If the preferences are being displayed in multi-pane mode, the given fragment class will be instantiated and placed in the appropriate pane. If running in single-pane mode, a new activity will be launched in which to show the fragment.
fragmentClass | Full name of the class implementing the fragment. |
---|---|
args | Any desired arguments to supply to the fragment. |
titleRes | Optional resource identifier of the title of this fragment. |
titleText | Optional text of the title of this fragment. |
resultTo | Optional fragment that result data should be sent to.
If non-null, resultTo.onActivityResult() will be called when this
preference panel is done. The launched panel must use
finishPreferencePanel(Fragment, int, Intent) when done. |
resultRequestCode | If resultTo is non-null, this is the caller's request code to be received with the resut. |
Like startWithFragment(String, Bundle, Fragment, int, int, int)
but uses a 0 titleRes.
Start a new instance of this activity, showing only the given preference fragment. When launched in this mode, the header list will be hidden and the given preference fragment will be instantiated and fill the entire activity.
fragmentName | The name of the fragment to display. |
---|---|
args | Optional arguments to supply to the fragment. |
resultTo | Option fragment that should receive the result of the activity launch. |
resultRequestCode | If resultTo is non-null, this is the request code in which to report the result. |
titleRes | Resource ID of string to display for the title of this set of preferences. |
shortTitleRes | Resource ID of string to display for the short title of this set of preferences. |
When in two-pane mode, switch to the fragment pane to show the given preference fragment.

---|
When in two-pane mode, switch the fragment pane to show the given preference fragment.
fragmentName | The name of the fragment to display. |
---|---|
args | Optional arguments to supply to the fragment. |
Subclasses should override this method and verify that the given fragment is a valid type
to be attached to this activity. The default implementation returns true
for
apps built for android:targetSdkVersion
older than
KITKAT
. For later versions, it will throw an exception.
fragmentName | the class name of the Fragment about to be attached to this activity. |
---|
Called when an activity you launched exits, giving you the requestCode
you started it with, the resultCode it returned, and any additional
data from it. The resultCode will be
RESULT_CANCELED
if the activity explicitly returned that,
didn't return any result, or crashed during its operation.
You will receive this call immediately before onResume() when your activity is re-starting.
requestCode | The integer request code originally supplied to startActivityForResult(), allowing you to identify who this result came from. |
---|---|
resultCode | The integer result code returned by the child activity through its setResult(). |
data | An Intent, which can return result data to the caller (various data can be attached to Intent "extras"). |
Called when the activity is starting. This is where most initialization
should go: calling setContentView(int)
to inflate the
activity's UI, using findViewById(int)
to programmatically interact
with widgets in the UI, calling
managedQuery(android.net.Uri, String[], String, String[], String)
to retrieve
cursors for data being displayed, etc.
You can call finish()
from within this function, in
which case onDestroy() will be immediately called without any of the rest
of the activity lifecycle (onStart()
, onResume()
,
onPause()
, etc) executing.
Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.
savedInstanceState | If the activity is being re-initialized after
previously being shut down then this Bundle contains the data it most
recently supplied in onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) . Note: Otherwise it is null. |
---|
Perform any final cleanup before an activity is destroyed. This can
happen either because the activity is finishing (someone called
finish()
on it, or because the system is temporarily destroying
this instance of the activity to save space. You can distinguish
between these two scenarios with the isFinishing()
method.
Note: do not count on this method being called as a place for
saving data! For example, if an activity is editing data in a content
provider, those edits should be committed in either onPause()
or
onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
, not here. This method is usually implemented to
free resources like threads that are associated with an activity, so
that a destroyed activity does not leave such things around while the
rest of its application is still running. There are situations where
the system will simply kill the activity's hosting process without
calling this method (or any others) in it, so it should not be used to
do things that are intended to remain around after the process goes
away.
Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.
This method will be called when an item in the list is selected. Subclasses should override. Subclasses can call getListView().getItemAtPosition(position) if they need to access the data associated with the selected item.
l | The ListView where the click happened |
---|---|
v | The view that was clicked within the ListView |
position | The position of the view in the list |
id | The row id of the item that was clicked |
This is called for activities that set launchMode to "singleTop" in
their package, or if a client used the FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
flag when calling startActivity(Intent)
. In either case, when the
activity is re-launched while at the top of the activity stack instead
of a new instance of the activity being started, onNewIntent() will be
called on the existing instance with the Intent that was used to
re-launch it.
An activity will always be paused before receiving a new intent, so
you can count on onResume()
being called after this method.
Note that getIntent()
still returns the original Intent. You
can use setIntent(Intent)
to update it to this new Intent.
intent | The new intent that was started for the activity. |
---|
Ensures the list view has been created before Activity restores all of the view states.
state | the data most recently supplied in onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) . |
---|
Called to retrieve per-instance state from an activity before being killed
so that the state can be restored in onCreate(Bundle)
or
onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle)
(the Bundle
populated by this method
will be passed to both).
This method is called before an activity may be killed so that when it
comes back some time in the future it can restore its state. For example,
if activity B is launched in front of activity A, and at some point activity
A is killed to reclaim resources, activity A will have a chance to save the
current state of its user interface via this method so that when the user
returns to activity A, the state of the user interface can be restored
via onCreate(Bundle)
or onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle)
.
Do not confuse this method with activity lifecycle callbacks such as
onPause()
, which is always called when an activity is being placed
in the background or on its way to destruction, or onStop()
which
is called before destruction. One example of when onPause()
and
onStop()
is called and not this method is when a user navigates back
from activity B to activity A: there is no need to call onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
on B because that particular instance will never be restored, so the
system avoids calling it. An example when onPause()
is called and
not onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
is when activity B is launched in front of activity A:
the system may avoid calling onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
on activity A if it isn't
killed during the lifetime of B since the state of the user interface of
A will stay intact.
The default implementation takes care of most of the UI per-instance
state for you by calling onSaveInstanceState()
on each
view in the hierarchy that has an id, and by saving the id of the currently
focused view (all of which is restored by the default implementation of
onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle)
). If you override this method to save additional
information not captured by each individual view, you will likely want to
call through to the default implementation, otherwise be prepared to save
all of the state of each view yourself.
If called, this method will occur before onStop()
. There are
no guarantees about whether it will occur before or after onPause()
.
outState | Bundle in which to place your saved state. |
---|
Called when you are no longer visible to the user. You will next
receive either onRestart()
, onDestroy()
, or nothing,
depending on later user activity.
Note that this method may never be called, in low memory situations
where the system does not have enough memory to keep your activity's
process running after its onPause()
method is called.
Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.
