Android Question Custom Setting Preference

[Blue.Sky]

Hi
I used AHPreferenceActivity already.
I have a limit in desing and theme
Is there other module to use setting screen in my app with other design?

I have developed a comprehensive Preferences library and planned to upload it to the forum but so far haven't found the time to do so.

Would you like to beta test my library?

@warwound , yes please, can I beta test your new Pref. lib?

Thanks

Who will develop a tool (for PC) to create Preferences "activity" ?

[Not me, the members of the forum are too stingy ]

Later this evening i'll start a chat and invite those interested in beta testing my library to the chat.
You can get an idea of what my library is capable of doing by looking at the javadoc reference here:
http://b4a.martinpearman.co.uk/pref...n/b4a/android/preference/package-summary.html
You see the various Preference objects that it supports in the package uk.co.martinpearman.b4a.android.preference.
Note that my library is only compatible with Android 3.0+ as it uses the android PreferenceFragment.

This is the problem of libraries and Android: sometimes libraries become incompatible with future versions of the operating system.

sometimes libraries become incompatible with future versions of the operating system

Or it becomes time to abandon support for older versions of android and make libraries that only work with newer versions.
This is the case with my PreferenceExtras library.
PreferencesExtras uses a PreferenceFragment so only works on Honeycomb and newer.
The same logic applies to the b4a GoogleMaps library - it uses a MapFragment so is only compatible with Honeycomb and newer.

I'm sure both libraries could have been written using additonal compatibility libraries that add Fragment support to older versions of android.
But look at the statistics that show what versions of android people are currently using:
http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
Just 3.6% of users are using a version older than Honeycomb.
Is it worth the time and effort to make libraries compatible with such a small percentage of users?

Hi warwound, have you released this library yet?

Hi warwound, have you released this library yet?

No i've not had the time to properly release it.
I'll send you a PM with some info and a link to the library.
