I’m trying to create a settings screen for an app and I like the Gmail app’s settings screens. Here is a screenshot:

enter image description here

It looks/behaves like a custom list of some sort.
The left side looks like a TwoLineListItem (or just a large TextView and small TextView).
The right side is either a checkbox, a blank, or a downward arrow (like ExpandableListView) to indicate you should press it. (ex: when you press the Signature item, a dialog appears so you can input a signature).

I think one tricky part of this is that the entire list item is a “button”, meaning you don’t have to press directly on the checkbox to check it, you can press anywhere on the list item.

For example, section 5.2 of this tutorial http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidListView/article.html requires you tap exactly on the checkbox rather than on the entire list item.

Anyone have any ideas on how this is done?

    This is not the ‘normal’ listView.

    That UI was built with the PreferenceActivity

    Always use the PreferenceActivity to display settings for your application.
