So during certain states in my app, I want to disable certain CheckBoxPreferences in my setting-menu. However, if the user clicks them, I want an explanatory toast to be shown. If i just do setEnable(false); on the CheckBoxPreference, I do get the right look and feel. But I cant get a toast to be shown on click. On the other hand, I have failed in manually making a CheckBoxPreference look like it is disabled.

A:
Instead of disabling the preference, you can as well disable the views of the preference only.
public class DisabledAppearanceCheckboxPreference extends CheckBoxPreference {
protected boolean mEnabledAppearance = false;
public DisabledAppearanceCheckboxPreference(Context context,
AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onBindView(View view) {
super.onBindView(view);
boolean viewEnabled = isEnabled()&&mEnabledAppearance;
enableView(view, viewEnabled);
}
protected void enableView( View view, boolean enabled){
view.setEnabled(enabled);
if ( view instanceof ViewGroup){
ViewGroup grp = (ViewGroup)view;
for ( int index = 0; index < grp.getChildCount(); index++)
enableView(grp.getChildAt(index), enabled);
}
}
public void setEnabledAppearance( boolean enabled){
mEnabledAppearance = enabled;
notifyChanged();
}
@Override
protected void onClick() {
if ( mEnabledAppearance)
super.onClick();
else{
// show your toast here
}
}
}
