Constructors

PreferenceManager(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Fields

KeyHasSetDefaultValues
MetadataKeyPreferences	The Activity meta-data key for its XML preference hierarchy.

Properties

Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsStorageDefault	Indicates if the storage location used internally by this class is the default provided by the hosting `Context`.
IsStorageDeviceProtected	Indicates if the storage location used internally by this class is backed by device-protected storage.
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
PreferenceDataStore	Returns the `PreferenceDataStore` associated with this manager or `null` if the default `android.content.SharedPreferences` are used instead. -or- Sets a `PreferenceDataStore` to be used by all Preferences associated with this manager that don't have a custom `PreferenceDataStore` assigned via `Preference#setPreferenceDataStore(PreferenceDataStore)`.
SharedPreferences	Gets a `SharedPreferences` instance that preferences managed by this will use.
SharedPreferencesMode	Returns the current mode of the SharedPreferences file that preferences managed by this will use. -or- Sets the mode of the SharedPreferences file that preferences managed by this will use.
SharedPreferencesName	Returns the current name of the SharedPreferences file that preferences managed by this will use. -or- Sets the name of the SharedPreferences file that preferences managed by this will use.
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Methods

Clone()	Creates and returns a copy of this object. (Inherited from Object)
CreatePreferenceScreen(Context)
Dispose()	(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)	(Inherited from Object)
Equals(Object)	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. (Inherited from Object)
FindPreference(ICharSequence)	Finds a `Preference` based on its key.
FindPreference(String)	Finds a `Preference` based on its key.
GetDefaultSharedPreferences(Context)	Gets a `SharedPreferences` instance that points to the default file that is used by the preference framework in the given context.
GetDefaultSharedPreferencesName(Context)	Returns the name used for storing default shared preferences.
GetHashCode()	Returns a hash code value for the object. (Inherited from Object)
JavaFinalize()	Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. (Inherited from Object)
Notify()	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object)
SetDefaultValues(Context, Int32, Boolean)	Sets the default values from an XML preference file by reading the values defined by each `Preference` item's `android:defaultValue` attribute.
SetDefaultValues(Context, String, FileCreationMode, Int32, Boolean)	Similar to `#setDefaultValues(Context, int, boolean)` but allows the client to provide the filename and mode of the shared preferences file.
SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	Sets the Handle property. (Inherited from Object)
SetStorageDefault()	Sets the storage location used internally by this class to be the default provided by the hosting `Context`.
SetStorageDeviceProtected()	Explicitly set the storage location used internally by this class to be device-protected storage.
ToArray<T>()	(Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string representation of the object. (Inherited from Object)
UnregisterFromRuntime()	(Inherited from Object)
Wait()	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations
