Preference screen xml

Question

Hi ,

I have a main view that presents to the user the settings he/she can modify for an application . It's xml is something like this :

<PreferenceScreen  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"          
   android:key="root_preferencescreen">

    <PreferenceScreen  android:key="general_sett" android:title="general settings" />
     ....

    <PreferenceScreen  android:key="extras_sett" android:title="extras settings" />

</PreferenceScreen> 

When the user clicks on on preferenceScreen a secondary screen will open that contains the desired preferences . What I want is to be able to display a icon to the left of each of these preferenceScreens , something like this:

<PreferenceScreen  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"          
       android:key="root_preferencescreen">

  <LinearLayout  android:orientation="horizontal"  android:layout_width="fill_parent"... >

        <ImageView id="@+id/picview" ... />

        <PreferenceScreen  android:key="general_sett" android:title="general settings" />

  </LinearLayout>
    ......

</PreferenceScreen> 

Unfortunately this approach is not allowed by Android , so if you have any other idea or solution regarding this issue please inform me .

Have a look at the android:widgetLayout property in the Preference Javadoc.
