Overview

A top-level container that represents a settings screen. This is the root component of your Preference hierarchy. A PreferenceFragmentCompat points to an instance of this class to show the preferences. To instantiate this class, use PreferenceManager.createPreferenceScreen(Context).

Developer Guides

For information about building a settings screen using the AndroidX Preference library, see Settings.

Summary

Fields
from PreferenceDEFAULT_ORDER
Constructors
publicPreferenceScreen(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Do NOT use this constructor, use PreferenceManager.createPreferenceScreen(Context).

Methods
protected booleanisOnSameScreenAsChildren()

Whether this preference group should be shown on the same screen as its contained preferences.

protected voidonClick()

Processes a click on the preference.

public voidsetShouldUseGeneratedIds(boolean shouldUseGeneratedIds)

Set whether the adapter created for this screen should attempt to use the preference IDs generated by PreferenceGroup.addPreference(Preference) as stable item IDs.

Constructors

public PreferenceScreen(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Do NOT use this constructor, use PreferenceManager.createPreferenceScreen(Context). Used by Settings :)

Methods

protected void onClick()

Processes a click on the preference. This includes saving the value to the SharedPreferences. However, the overridden method should call Preference.callChangeListener(Object) to make sure the client wants to update the preference's state with the new value.

protected boolean isOnSameScreenAsChildren()

Whether this preference group should be shown on the same screen as its contained preferences.

Returns:

true if the contained preferences should be shown on the same screen as this preference.

public boolean shouldUseGeneratedIds()

See PreferenceScreen.setShouldUseGeneratedIds(boolean)

Returns:

true if the adapter should use the preference IDs generated by PreferenceGroup.addPreference(Preference) as stable item IDs.

public void setShouldUseGeneratedIds(boolean shouldUseGeneratedIds)

Set whether the adapter created for this screen should attempt to use the preference IDs generated by PreferenceGroup.addPreference(Preference) as stable item IDs. Setting this to false can suppress unwanted animations if Preference objects are frequently removed from and re-added to their containing PreferenceGroup.

This method may only be called when the preference screen is not attached to the hierarchy.

Default value is true.

Parameters:

shouldUseGeneratedIds: true if the adapter should use the preference ID as a stable ID, or false to disable the use of stable IDs.
