You need to use a custom layout for your ListPreference
.
eg:
<android.preference.ListPreference
android:layout="@layout/your_custom_layout"
....
/>
And add what you want to your custom layout.
eg:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingRight="?android:attr/scrollbarSize">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/preferences_layout_margin">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/yourIconId"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" /> <!-- here i've added an ImageView for icon -->
<TextView android:id="@android:id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/iconImageView"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/preferences_icon_margin" />
<TextView android:id="@android:id/summary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@android:id/title"
android:layout_alignLeft="@android:id/title"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:maxLines="2" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- Preference should place its actual preference widget here. -->
<LinearLayout android:id="@android:id/widget_frame"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
When you need multiple uses of a list preference with texts/icons, then you can use this solution.
This version is heavily based on the nice version of LucaZanini. I made some minor changes to the version so it is only dependant on the own preference attributes. In this way you can use them multiple times. Please refer to his tutorial.
@Luca - thank you very much!
The minor changes are only:
IconPickerPreference:
