Android: Adding OnClick Handler to Custom Preference Layout

Question

I am on some unknown territory. Unfortunately, I don't fully understand how Android is structured. I am trying to create a way for users to add contacts using a preference layout. I got my app to add contact, but I am working on a way to remove the contact from the list. I created a custom layout for my preference object.

contact_pref_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingRight="?android:attr/scrollbarSize">
    <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="15dip"
    android:layout_marginRight="6dip" android:layout_marginTop="6dip"
    android:layout_marginBottom="6dip" android:layout_weight="1">
    <TextView android:id="@+android:id/title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:singleLine="true" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:ellipsize="marquee" android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
        android:textColor="#FF0000" />

    <TextView android:id="@+android:id/summary"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@android:id/title" android:layout_alignLeft="@android:id/title"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:maxLines="4" />
    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnDelete"
        android:layout_width="32dp" 
        android:layout_height="32dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:src="@drawable/trash_can"
        />
<!-- Preference should place its actual preference widget here. -->
<LinearLayout android:id="@+android:id/widget_frame"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="vertical" />
    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I am dynamically creating the preference object everything I add a contact.

Add Contact Function:

   private void addContact(String contactName, String contactPhone)
    {
        Log.i(TAG,"in addContact Function");

        Toast.makeText(this, contactName + "'s phone number found: " + contactPhone , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        PreferenceCategory targetCategory = (PreferenceCategory)findPreference("contact_category");

        Preference newContact = new Preference(this);
        newContact.setKey("contact123");
        newContact.setTitle(contactName);
        newContact.setSummary(contactPhone);
        newContact.setLayoutResource(R.layout.contact_pref_layout);


        Log.i(TAG,"Add new Contact");
        targetCategory.addPreference(newContact);

    }

I am not sure where or how to add the onClickListener for the ImageButton to delete. I am not sure even sure how to delete Preference object either. Any suggestions?

I get this error when contactpage actvity is being created.

Answer 1

I ended up using adding

android:onClick="deleteContact"

to the layout and added a deleteContact function.
