Public methods

onBindViewHolder

void onBindViewHolder (PreferenceViewHolder view)

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.

Parameters
view PreferenceViewHolder: The ViewHolder that provides references to the views to fill in. These views will be recycled, so you should not hold a reference to them after this method returns.

setEntries

void setEntries (CharSequence[] entries)

Sets the human-readable entries to be shown in the list. This will be shown in subsequent dialogs.

Each entry must have a corresponding index in setEntryValues(CharSequence[]).

Parameters
entries CharSequence: The entries.

setValueIndex

void setValueIndex (int index)

Sets the value to the given index from the entry values.

Parameters
index int: The index of the value to set.

Protected methods

createAdapter

ArrayAdapter createAdapter ()

By default, this class uses a simple ArrayAdapter. But if you need a more complicated ArrayAdapter, this method can be overriden to create a custom one.

Note: This method is called from the constructor. So, overriden methods will get called before any subclass initialization.

Returns
ArrayAdapter The custom ArrayAdapter that needs to be used with this class.

notifyChanged

void notifyChanged ()

Should be called when the data of this Preference has changed.

onClick

void onClick ()

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.

Hooray!
