Is there any way to put extras to Intent from preferences?
Solution 1
As your extras are not constants, you should pass them in the java code instead of xml.
Intent intent = new Intent( this, YourTargetActivity.class );
intent.putExtra( EXTRAS_KEY, extras );
yourPref.setIntent( intent );
Solution 2
I got an answer, you can use it like this:
<Preference
android:key="xxx"
android:title="xxx"
android:summary="xxx">
<intent android:action="xxx" >
<extra android:name="xxx" android:value="xxx" />
</intent>
</Preference>
Solution 3
There is a data field for intents described in the documentation here.
It is used in the API demo application for the XML preferences to launch an intent in the Intent Preferences example.
Related example xml from that demo in preferences.xml:
<PreferenceScreen
android:title="@string/title_intent_preference"
android:summary="@string/summary_intent_preference">
<intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
android:data="http://www.android.com" />
</PreferenceScreen>
Maybe this approach could work for you?
Solution 4
Add the preference to the preference.xml file:
<Preference android:title="user" android:key="user"/>
And then you can use a setOnPreferenceClickListener to launch an Intent with extras.
Preference userButton = (Preference) findPreference("user");
userButton.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference arg0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), YourTargetActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA, mUser);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
});
Solution 5
working for me.
<shortcut
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/xxx"
android:shortcutDisabledMessage="@string/xxx"
android:shortcutId="xxxx"
android:shortcutLongLabel="xxx"
android:shortcutShortLabel="xxx">
<intent
android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
android:targetClass="xxx"
android:targetPackage="xxx">
<extra
android:name="intent_name"
android:value="true" />
</intent>
</shortcut>

Hi i'm launching activity from preferences screen. Activity is shared among three preferences. I wonder if i can set extras for this activity in xml
<Preference android:key="action_1" android:title="@string/action_1_title" > <intent android:action="com.package.SHAREDACTION" > </intent> </Preference>
i wonder if i can do something like
<extras> <item android:name="" android:value=""/> </extras>
All i need to do to pass an integer really. I can different actions and check action instead of extras.
