Preference element in xml and the click event

If you have an EditTextPreference tag in a xml file you can catch the click event implementing OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener but it doesn’t work if you have a Preference tag in the xml file.

Consider the following code inside a xml file for the preferences:

<Preference
	android:key="my_key"
	android:summary="my_summary"
 	android:title="my_title" >
</Preference>

You can catch the click event using one of these ways:

• implementing an intent in the xml file, for example, in order to open a web page the code is:

  <Preference
  	android:key="my_key"
  	android:summary="my_summary"
   	android:title="my_title" >
  	<intent
  		android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
  		android:data="http://www.example.com" />
  </Preference>
  

• implementing a Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener listener, for example, in your activity or fragment add the following:

  Preference myPref = (Preference) findPreference("my_key");
  myPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
  	@Override
  	public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference myPref) {
  		// your code
  		return true;
  	}
  });
