What's Your Preference?

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

}

}

We also need to update AndroidManifest.xml to reference this activity, so we

can launch it later:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

package="apt.tutorial"

android:versionCode="1"

android:versionName="1.0">

<application android:label="@string/app_name">

<activity android:name=".LunchList"

android:label="@string/app_name">

<intent-filter>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

</intent-filter>

</activity>

<activity android:name=".DetailForm">

</activity>

<activity android:name=".EditPreferences">

</activity>

</application>

</manifest>

Step #3: Connect the Preference Activity to the Option Menu......

Menu

Now, we can add a menu option to launch the EditPreferences activity.

We need to add another to our LunchList/res/menu/option.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:id="@+id/add"

android:title="Add"

android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_add"

/>

<item android:id="@+id/prefs"

android:title="Settings"

android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_preferences"
