So I am modifying the Cube live wallpaper example. I have a class that extends PreferenceActivity, and I added the Activity in my manifest file. I keep getting ActivityNotFoundExceptions.
Here is my preference class :
package com.p.t.wallpapers.mywallpaper;
import com.p.t.wallpapers.mywallpaper.R;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
public class MySettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity
implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesName(
ParticleCandy.SHARED_PREFS_NAME);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(
this);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences().unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(
this);
super.onDestroy();
}
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences,
String key) {
}
}
And here is my manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.p.t.wallpapers.mywallpaper"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<service
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".MyWallpaper"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER" >
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService">
</action>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.service.wallpaper"
android:resource="@xml/wallpaper_info" />
</service>
<activity
android:label="@string/settings_title"
android:name=".MySettingsActivity"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.WallpaperSettings"
android:exported="true">
</activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.software.live_wallpaper" />
</manifest>
Any ideas why my preferences activity doesn’t get read in from the manifest? The wallpaper service, MyWallpaper shows up just fine, but DDMS keeps telling me the activity MySettingsActivity doesn’t exit.
Here is output from logcat

Figured it out. It was the wallpaper xml that is referenced in the manifest, under the meta data tag in the service tag. Basically, that xml has
Notice the “MySettingsActivity” there? Yeah, since this is a separate file from the manifest, it doesn’t automatically have a package it starts searching class names from. So all I had to do was put the full package path, like so
and voila! My preference screen pops up now when I hit the Settings… button, instead of force crashing. Oh man, facepalm!
