Introduce

Group of Preference, just like the Preference of original Android.

[DEPPERCATED] You should not support pre-Lollipop in 2018.

Easy to use and good effect in pre-Lollipop.

Sample

Import

Gradle

1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories

allprojects {
 repositories {
  ...
  maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
 }
}

2. Add the dependencies

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.XhinLiang.MDPreference:mdpreference:0.3.2@aar'
    // You should add this because the 'mdpreference' depend on this
    compile 'com.github.XhinLiang.MDPreference:material:0.3.2@aar'
    // You should add these because the 'material' depend on them
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'
}

Usage

1. define the xml of PreferenceFragment in "../res/xml/your_xml_name.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.PreferenceCategory android:title="Alert Settings">
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.CheckBoxPreference
            android:key="preference_key_remind_the_same_day1"
            android:summary="Alert in the birthday"
            android:title="Alert first" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.SwitchPreference
            android:key="preference_key_remind_the_same_day3"
            android:summary="Alert in three day before birthday"
            android:title="Alert second" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.EditTextPreference
            android:key="preference_key_remind_the_same_daywwwd2"
            android:summary="Alert in a week before the birthday"
            android:positiveButtonText="OK"
            android:negativeButtonText="Cancel
            android:dialogTitle="Dialog" 
            android:title="Alert third" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.SwitchPreference
            android:key="preference_key_remind_the_same_day34"
            android:summary="Alert in two weeks before the birthday"
            android:title="Alert fourth" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.ListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timess"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"
            app:format_str="%s"
            app:value_arr="@array/alert_time_value" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.MultiSelectListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timeddwexss"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"/>
    </io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

2. Create your SettingsFragment which extends io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.PreferenceFragment

public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesName(getString(R.string.app_name));
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference_settings);
    }
}

Notice

  • There are lots of Class in the package corresponding to the original Android

    • Preference
    • EditTextPreference
    • ListPreference
    • MultiSelectListPreference
    • PreferenceCategory
    • PreferenceFragment
    • SwitchPreference
  • For MOST of Preference, you can use them just like original Android Preference.

  • For ListPreference you should use like this

      <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.ListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timess"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"
            app:format_str="%s"
            app:value_arr="@array/alert_time_value" />

    The entry_arr is the array for entry and the value_arr is the array for the value you can get like this

    listPreference.getValue();

    The format_str is the format String for the summary, the %s is for the selected entry.

  • For MultiSelectListPreference you should use like this

     <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.MultiSelectListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timeddwexss"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"/>

    The entry_arr is the array for entry. You can get the array of selected Integer like this

    multiSelectListPreference.getIndexes();

ATTENTION

  • For ListPreference, you can get a String(MAY BE NULL) by using SharePreference which is the user selected.
  • For MultiSelectListPreference, You can get a int by using SharePreference which means the indexes of selected item. After that you can get a Set of Integer by using
    // bit means the int you get from SharePreference.
    Set<Integer> set = MultiSelectListPreference.getSetByBit(bit);
