I start my settingsActivity from an overflow menu item. I can add an overflow menu to the HoloEverywhere-Demo and start my activity when chosen and it works. Here is my settings activity:
public class SettingsActivity extends com.WazaBe.HoloEverywhere.sherlock.SPreferenceActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
initActionBar();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
#Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
}
private void initActionBar() {
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.action_bar_gradient));
actionBar.setTitle(R.string.settings);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
}
}
Any ideas why I can use this activity in the demo with no problems, but when I add to my application I get the error I posted?

Answer 1

Does your settings.xml use the holo attributes? You have to change xmlns to holo and all android: to holo:
Like this:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:holo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<PreferenceCategory holo:title="title" >
<Preference
holo:key="key"
holo:summary="summary"
holo:title="title" />
</PreferenceCategory>
<Preference
holo:key="key"
holo:title="title"
holo:selectable="true" />
</PreferenceScreen>
