wallpaper - android:settingsActivity - how to get non-standard behavior -


i have made live wallpaper, has many complex settings. looking @ various examples on web appears standard way set preferences in wallpaper have xml this:

<wallpaper xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:thumbnail="@drawable/my_icon"     android:description="@string/wallpaper_description"      android:settingsactivity="com.mycompany.mywallpaper.mywallpapersettings" />

where mywallpapersettings class defined this:

public class mywallpapersettings extends preferenceactivity implements sharedpreferences.onsharedpreferencechangelistener

with...

@override protected void oncreate(bundle blah)  {     super.oncreate(blah);     getpreferencemanager().setsharedpreferencesname(mywallpaper.shared_prefs_name);     addpreferencesfromresource(r.xml.my_settings);     getpreferencemanager().getsharedpreferences().registeronsharedpreferencechangelistener(this); }

this works advertised, appears rather crude. have noticed , feel of wallpaper's settings far more sophisticated, or nothing standard settings screens @ all, have dialog pops up, buttons on links websites. wondering how can achieve this. having fancier xml in my_settings.xml or perhaps android:settingsactivity=.. points isn't preferenceactivity, rather normal activity? or maybe code within oncreate needs different - i'm not sure should deviating examples.

looking @ developer.android.com says "this base class activity show hierarchy of preferences user." - sounds i'm restricted narrow range of things can do... that's why i'm torn between attempting push limits of can done inside preferenceactivity , making android:settingsactivity= point isn't preferenceactivity @ (if that's allowed).

according this don't need have preferenceactivity, activity do.

preferenceactivity easy way have settings screen, if don't want use can create own.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
