android - Launch new activity from PreferenceActivity

Question

Good day, friends. I have a PreferenceActivity, it is filled from XML file. When we press one item, we should launch new activity. How to do it? What should I write in XML-file or in the Java-class?

Answer 1

After you add preferences using

addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

find your preference that you want to set onClick using

findPreference("foo_bar_pref");

and define it by casting like

Preference fooBarPref = (Preference) findPreference("foo_bar_pref");

Then you can easily set its onClick using

fooBarPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener (new OnPreferenceClickListener()){...}

You can start your new Activity (using an Intent) inside that listener.
