How to add Action Bar from support library into PreferenceActivity?
EDIT: In appcompat-v7 22.1.0 Google added the AppCompatDelegate abstract class as a delegate you can use to extend AppCompat's support to any activity.
Use it like this:
...
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegate;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
...
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
private AppCompatDelegate mDelegate;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getDelegate().installViewFactory();
getDelegate().onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
getDelegate().onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
public ActionBar getSupportActionBar() {
return getDelegate().getSupportActionBar();
}
public void setSupportActionBar(@Nullable Toolbar toolbar) {
getDelegate().setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
@Override
public MenuInflater getMenuInflater() {
return getDelegate().getMenuInflater();
}
@Override
public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) {
getDelegate().setContentView(layoutResID);
}
@Override
public void setContentView(View view) {
getDelegate().setContentView(view);
}
@Override
public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
getDelegate().setContentView(view, params);
}
@Override
public void addContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
getDelegate().addContentView(view, params);
}
@Override
protected void onPostResume() {
super.onPostResume();
getDelegate().onPostResume();
}
@Override
protected void onTitleChanged(CharSequence title, int color) {
super.onTitleChanged(title, color);
getDelegate().setTitle(title);
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
getDelegate().onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
getDelegate().onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
getDelegate().onDestroy();
}
public void invalidateOptionsMenu() {
getDelegate().invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
private AppCompatDelegate getDelegate() {
if (mDelegate == null) {
mDelegate = AppCompatDelegate.create(this, null);
}
return mDelegate;
}
}
No more hacking. Code taken from AppCompatPreferenceActivity.java.
There is currently no way to achieve with AppCompat. I've opened a bug internally.
