Remarks
Shows a hierarchy of Preference objects as lists. These preferences will automatically save to SharedPreferences as the user interacts with them. To retrieve an instance of SharedPreferences that the preference hierarchy in this fragment will use, call PreferenceManager#getDefaultSharedPreferences(android.content.Context) with a context in the same package as this fragment.
Furthermore, the preferences shown will follow the visual style of system preferences. It is easy to create a hierarchy of preferences (that can be shown on multiple screens) via XML. For these reasons, it is recommended to use this fragment (as a superclass) to deal with preferences in applications.
A PreferenceScreen object should be at the top of the preference hierarchy. Furthermore, subsequent PreferenceScreen in the hierarchy denote a screen break--that is the preferences contained within subsequent PreferenceScreen should be shown on another screen. The preference framework handles showing these other screens from the preference hierarchy.
The preference hierarchy can be formed in multiple ways: <li> From an XML file specifying the hierarchy <li> From different Activity Activities that each specify its own preferences in an XML file via Activity meta-data <li> From an object hierarchy rooted with PreferenceScreen
To inflate from XML, use the #addPreferencesFromResource(int). The root element should be a PreferenceScreen. Subsequent elements can point to actual Preference subclasses. As mentioned above, subsequent PreferenceScreen in the hierarchy will result in the screen break.
To specify an Intent to query Activity Activities that each have preferences, use #addPreferencesFromIntent. Each Activity can specify meta-data in the manifest (via the key PreferenceManager#METADATA_KEY_PREFERENCES) that points to an XML resource. These XML resources will be inflated into a single preference hierarchy and shown by this fragment.
To specify an object hierarchy rooted with PreferenceScreen, use #setPreferenceScreen(PreferenceScreen).
As a convenience, this fragment implements a click listener for any preference in the current hierarchy, see #onPreferenceTreeClick(PreferenceScreen, Preference).
