How to implement profiles in an Android application?

Question

I'm coding an app that uses configurable profiles for different user preferences: many different users will use the same app on the same device.

The problem is that I can't use Android's PreferenceActivity because it just support one user per application.

Is there an easy way to generate the user interface for configuration, or I have to code everything from 0, including the user interface?

Thank you!

That seems unusual.

You might be able to create your own subclass of PreferenceManager that uses a different file per person, then return an instance of that in your PreferenceActivity in getPreferenceManager().
