Preference element in xml and the click event

If you have an EditTextPreference tag in a xml file you can catch the click event implementing OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener but it doesn’t work if you have a Preference tag in the xml file.

Consider the following code inside a xml file for the preferences:

You can catch the click event using one of these ways:

• implementing an intent in the xml file, for example, in order to open a web page the code is:
  
  XHTML

  <Preference android:key="my_key" android:summary="my_summary" android:title="my_title" > <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW" android:data="http://www.example.com" /> </Preference>

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  <Preference android:key="my_key" android:summary="my_summary" android:title="my_title" > <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW" android:data="http://www.example.com" /> </Preference>

• implementing a Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener listener, for example, in your activity or fragment add the following:
  
  Java

  Preference myPref = (Preference) findPreference("my_key"); myPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() { @Override public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference myPref) { // your code return true; } });

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Preference myPref = (Preference) findPreference("my_key"); myPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() { @Override public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference myPref) { // your code return true; } });
