Preferences hide toolbar

Question

Solved with https://stackoverflow.com/posts/26564401/revisions

I've an issue with my preferences screen. If anyone have an idea of the problem. I've test many things but I don't really understand layout with preference fragment...

Activity_settings.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:navigationContentDescription="@string/abc_action_bar_up_description"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:navigationIcon="?attr/homeAsUpIndicator"
    app:title="@string/action_settings"
    />

Preferences.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout="@layout/activity_settings">
    <EditTextPreference android:title="Your Name"
        android:key="username"
        android:summary="Please provide your username"></EditTextPreference>
    <CheckBoxPreference android:title="Application Updates"
        android:defaultValue="false"
        android:summary="This option if selected will allow the application to check for latest versions."
        android:key="applicationUpdates" />
    <ListPreference     android:title="Download Details"
        android:summary="Select the kind of data that you would like to download"
        android:key="downloadType"
        android:defaultValue="1"
        android:entries="@array/listArray"
        android:entryValues="@array/listValues" />
    <PreferenceScreen
        android:title="Test de merde"
        android:summary="Lolilol de merde">

        <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
            android:data="http://www.android.com" />

    </PreferenceScreen>
    <PreferenceScreen
        android:title="Bonjour"
        android:summary="Hello"
        android:key="user">
    </PreferenceScreen>
</PreferenceScreen>

Use setSupportActionBar(bar) rather than root.addView(bar).

But i can't have extends ActionBarActivity, no ? – francois53 Apr 19 '15 at 11:09
Yes, switch PreferenceActivity to ActionBarActivity. You are using a PreferenceFragment so you already benefit from the "preference" stuff, no need for a PreferenceActivity. – natario Apr 19 '15 at 11:18

public class MyPreferencesActivity extends ActionBarActivity { private Toolbar mToolbar; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings); mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(mToolbar); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); } – francois53 Apr 19 '15 at 11:35
You need to alter your layout accordingly, you can't use `android.R.id.content` anymore. Namely, you should have a FrameLayout below the Toolbar view, and inflate the fragment inside that frame. That's common practice. – natario Apr 19 '15 at 11:52
