In Eclipse with your project open:

  1. In the Package Explorer right click on your project and select "Properties".
  2. Select "Java Build Path" -> "Libraries".
  3. "Add External JARs..." then select the TimePreference.jar file.

In your activity that descends from PreferenceActivity:

  import org.bostonandroid.timepreference.TimePreference;
  
In your preference XML:

  <org.bostonandroid.timepreference.TimePreference
     android:key="alert_at" android:title="@string/alert_at"
     android:defaultValue="14:01" />

To quickly get the Time selected for "alert_at", in your PreferenceActivity:

  TimePreference.getTimeFor(
    PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharePreferences(this),
    "alert_at");

To set the time use .setTime(String).


To make the JAR:

With just the TimePreference source code loaded in Eclipse:

  In the Package Explorer right click on the "default.jardesc" file and select "Create JAR"
