Question

The Preference Screen XML; note that one preference is “numberDecimal”.

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <EditTextPreference
        android:inputType="textCapWords"
        android:key="tsName"
        android:title="@string/pref_common_test_name_title" />
    <EditTextPreference
        android:inputType="numberDecimal"
        android:key="tsSledWeightValue"
        android:title="@string/pref_cof_test_sled_weight" />
</PreferenceScreen>

The Preference onClick method: now I want to determine if that preference’s input type is “numberDecimal”, because I want to call custom editor.

private static Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener sBindEditorToPreferenceClickListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
    public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
        boolean isHandled = false;
        if (preference instanceof EditTextPreference) {
// *******  CAN I FIND THE PREFERENCE'S "inputType" HERE?
// ******* EXAMPLE: if(preference.inputType == android:numberDecimal) {}
        }
        return isHandled;
   }
};

EDIT: Or is there a better way to implement this?

Answer 1

 if(preference instanceof EditTextPreference) {
    EditText prefText = ((EditTextPreference) preference).getEditText();
    int type = prefText.getInputType();
    //do stuff
 )

Though it seems to be a bit strange. What are you really trying to do? Figure out which one was clicked? Just assign different click listeners.
