Fragment code is completely ignored

[bostone]

I have a very simple setup following your demo project

<preference-headers xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:unified="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/bostone.android.jobrio" >
    <header
        unified:fragment="bostone.android.jobrio.JobrioPreferenceActivity$AccountsFragment"
        unified:title="@string/pref_header_general"
        unified:preferenceRes="@xml/pref_general" />
</preference-headers>

pref_general.xml

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <CheckBoxPreference
        android:defaultValue="false"
        android:key="linkedin_login"
        android:summary="@string/pref_description_linkedin_account"
        android:title="@string/pref_title_linkedin_account" />
</PreferenceScreen>

And the java code

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        setHeaderRes(R.xml.pref_headers);
        setSharedPreferencesName(getApplicationContext().getPackageName());
        setSharedPreferencesMode(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        final ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
        ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }

    public static class AccountsFragment extends UnifiedPreferenceFragment {

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        }

        @Override
        public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
            super.onAttach(activity);
        }

    }

Preferences screen comes up just fine and checkbox property acts appropriately. What puzzle me is that unified:fragment="bostone.android.jobrio.JobrioPreferenceActivity$AccountsFragment" is seemingly ignored and in fact I can put any gibberish as fragment value and it will not generate any errors. As far as AccountsFragment goes - its onCreate and onAttach methods are never called.

I must be doing something wrong here?

Thanks,

You should be getting a NoClassDefFound error. Are you building with Eclipse?

[bostone]

Yes sir. Like I said it has no effect

[saik0]

Please try closing the projects, then quit eclipse. Launch, re-open and clean the library and your project.

[bostone]

Same thing

Is there anything special that needs to go into manifest file? I just have a plain simple Activity definition

No. I am not able to replicate this. Your snippet should work fine, and a bad value for unified:fragment should produce a NoClassDefFound exception. I suspect there is a bug or configuration problem in the build system.

Here is a quick test project I setup using your samples. It also contains the apk that compiled and runs OK. Sorry I cant be of more help.

I run the code and I have absolutely the same effect. Runs fine, change unified:fragment="foo", clean, run, no error. Change back - AccountFragments.onCreate is never accessed. I step through your code and I think the problem is that when isSinglePane returns true then fragments are simply ignored. So when I place some logic into fragment - it will never be picked up

Take a look at #3

[saik0]

This is a separate issue. Lets continue the discussion on issue #8.

While we're here though, some history: The initial release of the lib was only a "librarized" port of ADT SettingsActivity template because it was quite a bit of code for a minimally useful PreferenceActivity, and reusing the template was not DRY enough. There's still some weirdness from the template to cast off, pull requests welcome.

Edit: wrong issue number -_-
