12 ActionPreference

The preference ActionPreference is intended to be used as a button, which performs an action when clicked. In order to observe, when the preference is clicked, the classes' setOnPreferenceClickListener-method has to be used. The title of the preference is displayed centered. When setting an icon, it is shown next to the title. Because no dialog is shown when clicking the preference, the getter- and setter-methods, respectively XML attributes, which have been mentioned in section "Common properties" of this documentation, are not supported by this preference.
