For a school project, I'm building an application using PreferenceScreen
s as a framework.
I've created 2 new classes to suit my needs: SeekBarDialogPreference
(designed to handle volumes and brightness) and DigitalPreference
(for everything else).
class SeekBarDialogPreference extends DialogPreference {
static HashMap<String, Integer> maxValues = new HashMap<String, Integer>(6);
AudioManager am = (AudioManager) APP.getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
View views = new View(APP.getContext());
SeekBar sb;
CheckBox cb;
@Override
protected void onBindDialogView(View view) {
sb = (SeekBar) views.findViewById(R.id.seekbar);
cb = (CheckBox) views.findViewById(R.id.unchanged_check);
sb.setMax(maxValues.get(this.getKey()));
super.onBindDialogView(view);
}
@Override
protected void onDialogClosed(boolean positiveresult) {
super.onDialogClosed(positiveresult);
if (positiveresult) {
Editor editor = getEditor();
editor.putInt(this.getKey(), cb.isChecked() ? -1 : sb.getProgress());
editor.commit();
}
}
void show() {
onClick();
}
}
and the DigitalPreference
public class DigitalPreference extends ListPreference{
void show(){
onClick();
}
Here's the unifying TopPage, which is the main page
public class TopPage extends PreferenceActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle allthethings) {
super.onCreate(allthethings);
Map<String, ?> shareprefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getAll();
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.prefs);
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
getPrefs();
}
private SeekBarDialogPreference makeSeekBar(Preference pref) {
return (SeekBarDialogPreference) findPreference(pref.getKey());
}
private DigitalPreference makeDigital(Preference pref) {
return (DigitalPreference) findPreference(pref.getKey());
}
private void setClickListener(Preference preference, final boolean isSeekBar) {
preference.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference pref) {
if (isSeekBar) {
makeSeekBarDialogPreference(pref).show();
} else {
makeDigitalPreference(pref).show();
}
return true;
}
});
}
public void getPrefs() {
SeekBarDialogPreference Ringvolume_preference = (SeekBarDialogPreference) findPreference("Ringvolume_preference");
setClickListener(Ringvolume_Preference, true);
//Instantiated each Preference and attached a ClickListener to each
}
I have all of the preferences declared in res/xml/prefs.xml. Now whenever I run the app, I get an immediate force close. I suspect there's something wrong with my Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.gobernador"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="0.1">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5"
android:targetSdkVersion="10"/>
<application android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name="APP">
<activity android:name=".TopPage"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I've referenced Android: launch a custom Preference from a PreferenceActivity, among other stackoverflow questions, but I haven't been able to work out the problem.
If someone could shepherd me in the right direction, you would be getting me out of a huge rut. Thanks!
EDIT: After swimming through the logcat, I found an exception thrown in my prefs.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:title="Settings">
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Volumes"
android:summary="Ring, Notification, System, etc.">
<com.gobernador.SeekBarDialogPreference android:key="Ringvolume_preference"
android:title="Ring Volume"
android:summary=""
android:dialogLayout="@layout/seekbar_layout"/>
<com.gobernador.SeekBarDialogPreference android:key="Notifyvolume_preference"
android:title="Notification Volume"
android:summary=""
android:dialogLayout="@layout/seekbar_layout"/>
... and so on
where it tries to access the SeekBarDialogPreference
. Why isn't it working?
EDIT: The Exception being thrown is a NoSuchMethodException: SeekBarDialogPreference(Context,AttributeSet)
. I defined that method, what did I miss?
I found my solution. It was a java error. I failed to list my constructors for SeekBarDialogPreference
and DigitalPreference
as public, so the system could not call them.
