XML Attributes

android:disableDependentsState

The state (true for on, or false for off) that causes dependents to be disabled. By default, dependents will be disabled when this is unchecked, so the value of this preference is false.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol disableDependentsState.

Related Methods

android:summaryOff

The summary for the Preference in a PreferenceActivity screen when the CheckBoxPreference is unchecked. If separate on/off summaries are not needed, the summary attribute can be used instead.

Must be a string value, using '\\;' to escape characters such as '\\n' or '\\uxxxx' for a unicode character.

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol summaryOff.

Related Methods

android:summaryOn

The summary for the Preference in a PreferenceActivity screen when the CheckBoxPreference is checked. If separate on/off summaries are not needed, the summary attribute can be used instead.

Must be a string value, using '\\;' to escape characters such as '\\n' or '\\uxxxx' for a unicode character.

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol summaryOn.

Public Methods

public void onBindViewHolder (PreferenceViewHolder holder)

Binds the created View to the data for this Preference.

This is a good place to grab references to custom Views in the layout and set properties on them.

Make sure to call through to the superclass's implementation.

Parameters

holder	The ViewHolder that provides references to the views to fill in. These views will be recycled, so you should not hold a reference to them after this method returns.
