I've been racking my brains all night but can't seem to accomplish this one small thing. I would like to add a SwitchPreference into my PreferenceActivity of an app. Below is a picture.
Before I say too much, my problem is exactly this: I cannot seem to put a listener on just the Switch part of the preference. I am able to set an onPreferenceTreeClick and an onPreferenceClick on the preference, and that works fine if I press on the text portion. But When the Switch itself does nothing when I change it from OFF to ON.
I've read the documentation on SwitchPreference. I also looked at the android/packages/Settings and it looks like AOSP uses a Switch and not a SwitchPreference for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Here is my attempt (working if you press on the entire preference item, but not if you just press the Switch):
Sample:
public class Preferences extends SherlockPreferenceActivity {
public static final String PREF_THEME = "pref_theme_interface";
public static final String PREF_ROOT = "pref_root";
public static final String PREF_APP = "pref_app";
public static SharedPreferences mTheme;
private static SharedPreferences mUpdate;
public static SharedPreferences.Editor mEditor;
public boolean SDK_COMPAT = true;
boolean pSwitch = false;
boolean update = true;
Preference autoUpdate;
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
this.finish();
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(MainActivity.THEME);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_preferences);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
SDK_COMPAT = false;
}
mUpdate = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
update = mUpdate.getBoolean("update", false);
// Load the preferences from an XML resource
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
setPreferenceScreen(createPreferenceSDK());
}
private PreferenceScreen createPreferenceSDK() {
// Root
PreferenceScreen root = (PreferenceScreen)findPreference(PREF_ROOT);
PreferenceCategory prefApp = (PreferenceCategory)findPreference(PREF_APP);
//root.addPreference(prefApp);
if (SDK_COMPAT == true) {
pSwitch = true;
autoUpdate = new SwitchPreference(this);
autoUpdate.setKey("auto_update_pref");
autoUpdate.setTitle(R.string.auto_update);
//autoUpdate.setSummary(update == false ? "Disabled" : "Enabled");
prefApp.addPreference(autoUpdate);
} else {
pSwitch = false;
autoUpdate = new CheckBoxPreference(this);
autoUpdate.setKey("auto_update_pref");
autoUpdate.setTitle(R.string.auto_update);
autoUpdate.setSummary(R.string.auto_update_summary);
prefApp.addPreference(autoUpdate);
}
autoUpdate.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
mEditor = mUpdate.edit();
boolean checked = ((SwitchPreference) preference)
.isChecked();
if (checked) {
update = true;
mEditor.putBoolean("update", true);
mEditor.commit();
autoUpdate.setSummary(update == false ? "Disabled" : "Enabled");
} else {
update = false;
mEditor.putBoolean("update", false);
mEditor.commit();
autoUpdate.setSummary(update == false ? "Disabled" : "Enabled");
}
return true;
}
});
return root;
}
So to reiterate my question in case I lost you. How does one set a listener on the Switch portion of the SwitchPreference? Please be kind if it is something so obvious. It was pretty late last night when I tried to add this.
Thank you so much in advance.
Notes: 1. I am not opposed to sticking with the CheckBoxPreference, but I prefer to use Switch because it looks nice.

EDIT
Hopefully this helps someone else! Thanks Tushar for suggestion :-)
autoUpdate.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
@Override
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference,
Object newValue) {
boolean switched = ((SwitchPreference) preference)
.isChecked();
update = !switched;
mEditor = mUpdate.edit();
mEditor.putBoolean("update", update);
mEditor.commit();
autoUpdate.setSummary(update == false ? "Disabled" : "Enabled");
return true;
}
});
Use setOnPreferenceChangeListener()
instead of setOnPreferenceClickListener()
.
Working code
public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_notification);
SwitchPreference vibrateSwitch = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("notification_vibrate");
if (vibrateSwitch != null) {
vibrateSwitch.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
@Override
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference arg0, Object isVibrateOnObject) {
boolean isVibrateOn = (Boolean) isVibrateOnObject;
if (isVibrateOn) {
Vibrator v = (Vibrator) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
v.vibrate(400);
}
return true;
}
});
}
}
}
