Android preference screen without XML

Question

I want to create a settings screen without writing an XML layout file. I would like to save the settings in a SQLite database. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can simply create a hierarchy of preferences (possibly in onCreate() for PreferenceFragment ) with:

 PreferenceScreen screen = new PreferenceScreen(); 

and add preference items to screen using addPreference . In a PreferenceFragment (or PreferenceActivity if you are not using fragments), just call setPreferenceScreen with the hierarchy after creating it.
