Question

I have a common PreferenceCategory named common.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceCategory
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <PreferenceScreen
        android:title="Common preference screen" />

</PreferenceCategory>

I would like inflate it and attach to different PreferenceScreen(s) (not all) in my PreferenceActivity hierarchy. I searched how to, but after many tries, I have not any solution.

Answer 1

I recently came up with a solution. It’s maybe more complex than what you are looking for but here are the basics:

• There are two projects: a library and game that uses the library
• The idea is many games can use the same library (where I keep the common Java/XML code)
• On a single screen I can display both preferences from the common library code and game-specific code

I wrote a detailed blog article, along with sample code and 2 Eclipse projects.
