Disabling Screen Break with subsequent Preference Screens through XML.

[ravikumar.tj]

Hi,

I need to display another PreferenceScreen through xml which occupies the full screen.

Calling addPrefrencesFromResource(id) with different id results in Screen Break handled by Preference Framework.


setPreferenceScreen(mPS) could be called again & it works fine but it is through code...How do I do it through XML?

Neither inflateFromResource() not PreferenceInflater is available so, I can't use setPreferenceScreen for XML?

Plz do clarify.

Here is a code snippet hoping that someone blessed with Android Knowledge wud answer my query...

continuePreference.xml

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/softwareUpdate">
<Preference android:key="continueUpdate"
android:title="@string/continueUpdate"
android:dialogTitle="@string/continueUpdate" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

checkPreference.xml

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/softwareUpdate">
<Preference android:key="checkUpdate"
android:title="@string/checkUpdate"
android:dialogTitle="@string/checkUpdate" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

Now in code, HelloAndroid.java

addPrefrencesFromResource(R.xml.checkpreference);
...
...
if(ok) //Expected Output: To replace checkPreference with continuePreference screen.
addPrefrencesFromResource(R.xml.continuepreference ); //Actual Output: Results in Screen break i.e., appending with previous screen.
...
...

Whereas if Preference Screen is loaded through code then,
setPreferenceScreen(mPS1);
...
...
if(ok) //Expected Output: To replace checkPreference with continuePreference screen.
setPreferenceScreen(mPS2); //Actual Output: Same as Expected Output


Please do let me know how do I replace the preference screen through xml.
