SeekBar Preference

I just would like to share the code that I've posted in the Google Devs mailing list when someone asked about the SeekBar Preference.

public class SeekBarPreference extends DialogPreference{

private Context context;
private SeekBar volumeLevel;

public SeekBarPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
 super(context, attrs);
 this.context = context;
}

protected void onPrepareDialogBuilder(Builder builder) {

 LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
 layout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
 layout.setMinimumWidth(400);
 layout.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20);

 volumeLevel = new SeekBar(context);
 volumeLevel.setMax(32);
 volumeLevel.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
 volumeLevel.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(getSharedPreferences().getString(getKey(),"32")));

 layout.addView(volumeLevel);


 builder.setView(layout);

 super.onPrepareDialogBuilder(builder);
}

protected void onDialogClosed(boolean positiveResult) {
 if(positiveResult){
  persistString(volumeLevel.getProgress()+"");
 }
}

}

This allows you to popup a seekbar that you can use to adjust some properties like volume, difficulty and other things where a slider would be useful. Then you use it like:

        alarmVolume = new SeekBarPreference(this, null);
        alarmVolume.setTitle("Volume");
        alarmVolume.setSummary("Modify the volume of the alarm");
        alarmVolume.setKey(PREF_ALARM_VOLUME);

and then can be added to a PreferenceScreen or PreferenceCategory
