[android-developers] Re: problem accessing widget in Preference widgetLayout

2010-07-15 Thread AlanLawrence
findPreference finds the Preference, findViewById is what you want to
get the button/widget...

however, it seems (I had a similar problem) that the widget isn't
being created at the time you addPreferences in your onCreate method,
only later; presumably if you wrote a custom Preference subclass,
you'd be able to grab the widget just as it was loaded by overriding
onBindView, or some other method; or you could write a custom widget
class that performs any load-time action you need in
onFinishInflate(!). However, if you can wait until the preference is
clicked, an easier option is to use an OnPreferenceClickListener, at
which point the same findViewById call does work...!

 I think you need to do findPreference instead of findViewById.
 so like:
 ib = (Preference) findPreference(displayimagekey);

 Hope that helps.

   Hi,

   I can't seem to get a handle to the embedded widget (via widgetLayout)
   in my preference.

   My Preference XML is:

   PreferenceScreen
           xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
           android:key=first_preferencescreen

                   EditTextPreference android:key=displayname
                                                   android:title=Display 
   Name
                                                   android:summary=Choose a 
   display name /

            Preference android:id=@+id/displayimageview
                                           android:key=displayimagekey
                           android:title=Display Image
                           android:summary=Select Display Image
                           android:widgetLayout=@layout/displayimage
                            /

   /PreferenceScreen

   My widget XML is:

           LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
   android
                   android:layout_width=wrap_content
                   android:layout_height=wrap_content
                   android:orientation=horizontal
                   

           ImageButton android:id=@+id/displayimagebutton
                           android:layout_width=wrap_content
                           android:layout_height=wrap_content
                           android:padding=1dp
                   /

        /LinearLayout

   I'm trying to get a handle on the displayimagebutton to embed an
   ImageButton in a preference row.

   My java code is:
             View v1 = null;
             v1 = findViewById(R.layout.preferences);
             ImageButton ib = null;
             if (v1 == null)
                     Log.d(SUBSYSTEM_TAG, v1 = null);
             else
             {
                     ib = 
   (ImageButton)v1.findViewById(R.id.displayimagebutton);
             }

   I can't seem to get a view to the preferences I setup in
   preferences.xml.  in my OnCreate() I'm calling:
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.layout.preferences);

   and this seems to work fine since the preferences layout is
   represented on the screen.  However I can't get a View to this layout
   as my java code is trying above, so I can find the embedded widget.

   I've tried: v1 = findViewById(R.id.displayimageview);
   but that just returns null also.

   Any ideas on how I can get the ImageButton reference to my
   displayimagebutton?

   I'm really disappointed on the lack of an Android example for this.

   Thanks!
