This sounds like exactly what I need.
I've done some searching and have found the "finish()" method for
PreferencesActivity, however, I am now at a loss on how to call this method
from within the Preference subclass.
I have this so far:
public class GoHomePreference extends Preference
{
public GoHomePreference (Context context)
{
super(context);
}
@Override
public void onClick()
{
??????????.finish();
}
}
Once again I apologize for my lack of experience.
also, Thank you for your advice.
B.
