I’m creating a launcher app that can switch between the standard home screens and my own custom. I think I’ve discovered where I need to switch the reference file for the launcher, but I don’t know how to do it.

The line of code is:

xmlns:launcher="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.launcher"

which I want to switch to my own file, but I don’t know how to do it, as it would have to be in the java file created, in the CheckBoxPreference onClick method.

Is this possible?

    I suspect you misunderstood the role of xmlns:launcher="...".

    1. This is XML namespace, it does not directly influence any dynamic behavior.
    2. This is static value that is embedded into application’s .apk as part of resource (the .xml file that has this line). Strictly speaking, it cannot be changed after application is compiled.

    So, basically, you can’t change the value of xmlns:launcher, and even if you could, it wouldn’t help you.
